Project 16,3 - Electromagnetic Investigations - ®. Partridge
Project 16.3 measures the time interval betveen the primary and
secondary reactions in multi-stare devices by direct oscilloscopic reoording of the electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency range.
In addition, methods of obtaining other diagnostic information from this
rediation are investigated,
Equipment vas operated to attempt to measure alpha, the rate of
rise of the nuclear reaction,

Mild radio interference was experienced,

which makes it difficult to determine whether or not the radiated signal

followed alpha.
The time interval equipment was operated, using thie device for a
dry ran,

One antennae vas partially incapacitated by rein water getting

into electronic equipment at its base, but tvo of three channels operated

correctly,

The leak has since been corrected,
