Since temperature measurements are a key to understanding the TMI-2 accident and subsequent plant conditions, survivability and performance of the 16 resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) in the reactor-building air-handling system have been investigated. This report describes that investigation, presents and analyzes the data recorded by the 16 RTDs during and after the accident, discusses in-situ tests conducted on the RTDs, and presents observations on the test results. 18 figures, 3 tables.
