The effect of gamma radiation on the stability of miniature reference electrodes
The design and fabrication of four types of miniature reference electrodes and their long term stability in a radiation field are described. Miniature versions of a saturated calomel electrode (MSCE), a silver/silver chloride electrode (MAG), a tungsten/tungsten oxide (MWO) and a copper/copper ion (...

| Zusammenfassung: | The design and fabrication of four types of miniature reference electrodes and their long term stability in a radiation field are described. Miniature versions of a saturated calomel electrode (MSCE), a silver/silver chloride electrode (MAG), a tungsten/tungsten oxide (MWO) and a copper/copper ion (MCU) electrode were tested in a 10
kGy/h (1
Mrad/h) radiation field for up to 30 days total at 25 and 40
°C. The latter two (MWO and MCU) varied appreciably over time periods of several hours whereas the former two (MSCE and MAG) varied less than 1
mV over periods of 6–8
h and are deemed suitable as reference electrodes for corrosion studies of systems immersed in a radiation field at elevated temperature. |
