The Plutonium Facility at Los Alamos uses Eberline RMS-II monitors as part of its criticality accident alarm system. The monitors are designed to accommodate a wide spectrum of criticality accident scenarios from both liquid and metal supercriticalities. A series of experiments were performed at the Los Alamos Critical Experiments Facility to evaluate the response of the monitor to a wide range of radiation transients. The primary objectives of the evaluation were to verify reliable and prompt latching of the criticality alarms in accordance with the performance criteria of ANSI/ANS-8.3-1986. The RMS-II monitor performed reliably during all of the experiments and was found to meet specific ANSI/ANS performance criteria for latching.
洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的钚设施使用Eberline RMS-II监测器作为其临界事故报警系统的一部分。这些监测器设计用于应对液体和金属超临界等各种临界事故场景。在洛斯阿拉莫斯临界实验设施进行了一系列实验，以评估该监测器对各种辐射瞬变的响应。评估的主要目标是根据ANSI/ANS-8.3-1986的性能标准，验证临界报警的可靠和快速锁定。RMS-II监测器在所有实验中均可靠运行，并被发现符合ANSI/ANS关于锁定的特定性能标准。
