The FIGARO Facility at Los Alamos: Capabilities and First Results

Performance testing of the Eberline RMS-II criticality accident monitor.

The Plutonium Facility at Los Alamos uses Eberline RMS-II monitors as part of its criticality accident alarm system. The monitors are designed to accommodate a wide spectrum of criticality accident scenarios from both liquid and metal supercriticalities. A series of experiments were performed at the Los Alamos Critical Experiments Facility to evaluate the response of the monitor to a wide range...
