Description/Abstract:
ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE PROBES WERE INSTALLED IN COOLING CHANNELS IN AN OPERATING REACTOR. THE PROBES MEASURE CORROSION BY COMPARING THE CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE OF A TEST ELEMENT, UPON CONVERSION OF METAL TO OXIDE, WITH RESISTANCE OF A PROTECTED REFERENCE ELEMENT IN A NULL-BALANCE WHEATSTONE BRIDGE CIRCUIT
