Transmutation and nuclear alloying effects in ChromelAlumel and platinum/ platinum-rhodium thermocouples from a neutron flux of 10/sup 20/ nvt were investigated. The irradiated thermocouples were calibrated against unirradiated thermocouples at 1000 deg C. The voltage deviations with respect to neutron exposure and temperature were presented. (C.E.S.)
