Chemistry department replied that we have never seen cadmium nor indium in RCS. The only other place I know that uses silver besides the control rods are the flange o-rings.

We have recently measured an unexpected increase in silver in the RCS. Accordingly, does your plant(s) sample for cadmium and/or indium in the reactor coolant system? If so, what is a typical concentration?
Thank you,
