Rhodium in-core detector sensitivity depletion. Interim report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5426151· OSTI ID:5426151
Sensitivity depletion of two rhodium (Rh) self-powered neutron detectors has been measured since July, 1976 at the Oconee 2 pressurized water reactor (PWR). The detectors were positioned inside the reactor core throughout the measurement period. Depletion has been determined as a function of electric charge expended (released) by each detector over the exposure period to the times of measurement.
