No conclusions could be made concerning tbe distribution of hydrogen injected into the reactor coolant because the samples were taken only from the purification loop through which tae hydrogen was added. No comparison of the uniformity of distribution obtained by injecting hydrogen through either the AC or the BD purification loop could be made. Comparative data were not taken until 9 days had elapsed since injecting hydrogen and the concentration was near tbe lower limit (15 cc/kg). The rates of hydrogen loss durirg the test were 5.9 cc/ kg/day for hydrogen injected through the AC purification loop, and 4.1 cc/kg/day for hydrogen injected through the BD purification loop. (auth
