Experiments have been conducted to determine the stability of molecular cesium iodide flowing in steam at a temperature of 900/degree/C through a stainless steel pipe in the presence of a radiation field. The results show that, while some thermal decomposition does occur, the presence of radiation fields as high as 0.5 megarad/hour have no effect on the stability of molecular cesium iodide. This is in agreement with the prediction of theoretical analyses that also were done during the course of the study. 31 figs., 20 tabs.
