March 17, 1953 To Clifford Beck From N Underwood Copies to reactor committee Subject.- Gas disposal Galvanometer system

It is suggested that a 1/2 stainless steel pipe about 40 feet long packed with activated charcoal be used to trap out the Krypton and Xenon and other gases from the recombiner. Since a charcoal trap is poisoned by water vapour, this will necessitate a cold trap between the recombiner and the charcoal line. The temperature should be maintained less than - 20°C.
