LEAK DETECTION WITH RADIOISOTOPE TRACERS

THE LITERATURE (APPROXIMATELY 100 REFERENCES) ON THE USE OF RADIOISOTOPE TRACERS FOR DETECTING LEAKS IN BURIED PIPES AND CABLE SHEATHS, CROSS-STREAM UNITS SUCH AS HEAT EXCHANGERS AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS, VEHICLES, WATER CARRIER AND STORAGE SYSTEMS, HERMETICALLY SEALED COMPONENTS, AND MISCELLANEOUS UNITS AND SYSTEMS IS REVIEWED. THE REVIEW ASSEMBLES IN ONE PLACE VARIED INFORMATION ON THE TECHNIQUES AND RADIOISOTOPES THAT HAVE BEEN USED IN INDUSTRIAL AND ENGINEERING PROJECTS FOR DETECTING LEAKS. THE ARTICLES QUOTED WERE SELECTED FROM STANDARD REFERENCE SOURCES. /AUTHOR/
