Abstract

A simple and cheap method for packing liquids for irradiation in reactors is given which uses table-tennis balls. Two tiny holes are drilled in a ball at a short distance apart, and the ball is filled with liquid by means of a funnel with an injection needle conaected to the stem. The holes are closed with a plastic glue, and the ball is packed in closely fitting polythene shells tied together with adhesive tape. The standard is packed in a separate table-tenais ball and irradiated simultaneously with the sample. The balls are very strong and can stand falls of 8 ft, temperatures approximates 80 deg C, and dilute mineral acids for a long time without contamination of the sample. (D.l.C.)
