A 700 deg C fission chamber built and tested showed the counting rate to decrease as the temperature increased from 30 to 700 deg C. The noise level shows no increase. The cause of the decrease in counting rate is under investigation, and it is the associated electronic circuitry that is suspect. Experimental current integrating type ionization chambers were built and tested to 350 deg C. The background current increases with temperature, being about 3 x 10/sup -9/ amp at 350 deg C. Experimental a-c ionization chambers, which were built and tested, show no adverse effects caused by background d-c leakage current. These are being readied for test at elevated temperatures. (auth)
