We would appreciate ANY info RE: a material and/or process to seal (from water
absorption) and also electrically insulate a piezo-electric ceramic crystal,
to be used for Ultrasonic flaw detection in hostile environment:
-Lithiated heavy water (Ph-10) at 300 C, 1500psi. (10MPa)
-High radiation fields (>1 Mrads gamma + neutrons)

__repost NEW:
Material used must be inorganic since organics do not survive the radiation
fields.
	Ceramic adhesive & sealants do not lend themselves well to this assembly. We
are
thinking along the lines of using sputtering or some such process to acheive
the
adherence neccessary.
