Abstract
The application of the wire-activation technique was extended so that flux profiles could be obtained in the cores of pressurized water-type reactors. Tests with magnesium with 0.01 a/o (% by atoms) indium, 0.010 inch in diameter, showed that the method is feasible and the counting rates are high enough to give reliable results.
