An important factor affecting the decision on the use of a seal around the VSR on ``C`` is the temperature at which the rod can be expected to reach. Also the temperature of the rod-tip affects the choice of tip moderating material. These temperatures are calculated for a given set of conditions for ``C`` pile. The results of the calculations are best seen by referring to the attached figures. The affects of emissivity and weight of rod can be estimated by comparing the proper curves. The assumed conditions for calculating each curve are important and therefore, the basis for each curve is given separately.
