Abstract:

The object of this investigation was to establish a material for use as thermal insulation in Boral boxes which will be used in high temperature radiation effect studies. The material must not become radioactive to a point where it will be a health hazard. Emission spectrography was used to determine qualitatively the main constituents of Foamglas and Refrasil. Three materials were screened for sodium Foamglas could not be further considered because of high sodium content. Refrasil B-100 Batt was recommended for thermal insulation in high temperature radiation effects studies. Author
