Leaks detection in the amplifier boxes of underwater cables; Detection de fuites dans les boitiers amplificateurs de cables sous-marins

Abstract

The aim of this work is to detect leaks inside tight boxes which will be immersed in the bottom of the sea at a 4000 m depth. Radioactive sodium in the form of CO{sub 3}Na{sub 2} in aqueous solution is used as tracer. The method consists in placing the box inside a pressure cell filled up with the active solution and submitting the box to a pressure of 400 kg/cm{sup 2}. After washing with acetone and water, the activity of the box is measured. Any anomalous activity indicates the penetration of the active solution inside the box. (J.S.)
