Fermi response, we've had good success using RayChemTM (nuclear grade, not regular grade) shrink tubing, to encapsulate radiation detectors used in spent fuel pool (also good for FME control for those pesky little screws on some detectors), able to make water tight seal, does not adhere to detector, fairly easy to remove and resistant to puncture by incidental contact or abrasion. We consider detector cables as consumable items. Benjy

We would like them returned to us with as little contamination as possible. What does your plant do to reduce contamination in items placed in the spent fuel pool? Any advice is appreciated!
