Concerning stable plant operations of the iodine-sulfur thermochemical water-splitting process, composition measurements of Bunsen reaction solution is one of key techniques. Radiation probes have a potential for applications to determine this multiple component solution while the non-contact approach avoids the corrosive issues. Laboratory scale experiments to examine its applicability were conducted with use of simulated Bunsen solution and sealed radiation sources. In this presentation, the observation data of known composition solutions will be described.
