AbstractAbstract
[en] This report describes a dosimeter based on the conduction calorimetry principle, and designed to operate in swimming-pool type nuclear reactors. The properties of the apparatus are as follows: 1 - the measurement is independent of the specific heat of the calorimetric elements; 2 - each calorimetric element is fitted with an electrical calibration; 3 - the apparatus is made up of two independent calorimetric elements; 4 - the nature of the calorimetric elements makes it possible to analyse the radiation received; 5 - the measurable intensities of the absorbed radiation vary from 4 to 4000 M/rads per hour; 6 - the sensitive part of the apparatus is fitted inside a cylinder 5 cm high and 2 cm in diameter. One pre-production unit made up of graphite and beryllium cores has been tried out in the reactor Siloe with radiation intensities of about 1 to 2 watts per gram. It absorbed an accumulated dose of 1.2*1O12 rads without any weaknesses appearing. (authors)

Ce rapport decrit un dosimetre construit sur le principe de la calorimetrie de conduction, destine a operer dans les reacteurs nucleaires du type piscine. Les proprietes de l'appareil sont les suivantes: 1 - la mesure est independante de la chaleur specifique des corps calorimetriques; 2 - chaque corps calorimetrique est pourvu d'un etalonnage electrique; 3 - l'appareil comporte deux corps calorimetriques independants; 4 - la nature de corps calorimetriques, permet d'aborder l'analyse du rayonnement recu; 5 - les intensites de rayonnement absorbe mesurables sont sensiblement de 4 a 4000 M/rads par heure; 6 - la partie sensible de l'appareil est logee dans un cylindre de 5 cm de haut et 2 cm de diametre. Un exemplaire de preserie comportant des noyaux en graphite et beryllium a ete essaye dans la pile Siloe sous des intensites de rayonnement de l'ordre de 1 a 2 watts par gramme. Il a accumule une dose de 1,2. 1012 rads sans manifester aucune faiblesse. (auteurs)Original Title
