irradiate PtCl2 in a reactor core

Yolz

As part of an experiment, I'm looking to irradiate PtCl2 in a reactor core, PtCl2 will be contained in an Al container. What's the worst that could happen?

What kind of reactor? LWR? BWR or PWR? or HWR, or GCR? or test reactor? What temperature?

If Al has contact with water at 300C, then corrosion could be a problem. Al will become activated in a neutron flux. One might also get a chemical reaction with Cl and Al.

If the Al cladding were to breach then there would probably be a chemical reaction.

I would think that one would put the Al capsule in a hermetically sealed stainless steel capsule.
