Tests were conducted to determine the amount of error introduced in reactor power data by radiation-induced voltages in cables and electrometer preamplifier chassis. The results, obtained near the central exposure facility of the KEWB (Reacter Safety Experiments), showed no observable radiation effects under the conditions of present use. Cable insulation resistance was measured during the radiation bursts. (C.J.G.
