Irradiation of Santowax OMP was initiated in the M.I.T. Reactor Organic In-Pile Loop on August 9, 1961 and is continuing. As of September 30, 1961 the total absorbed dose to an average inventory of 5000 grams of coolant was 79,900 watt-hrs. In this same period of time approximately 35% of the terphenyls in the coolant have been degraded.
