Description
The in-Core Irradiation Tube (ICIT) is an internally dry tube designed to irradiate samples in the reactor core at the highest neutron flux region. The ICIT is a 1.25 inch aluminum tube that runs from the reactor to the F12 core position, on the periphery of the core. An offset bend, designed to limit radiation streaming, limits the sample size to a length of 4 inches.
