French to English
Science
Energy / Power Generation
Mesure d'irradiation d'un fut plombe -- there should be an accent circonflexe over the "u" in "fut" and an accent aigue over the "e" in "plombe" -- copying and pasting isn't working right now. Again, for this one, no context, it is just mentioned in a list ...... The text is for an electricity company. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

measuring radiation emissions from a lead-sealed drum
Cutting and pasting works for me!
<<Mesure d’irradiation d’un fût plombé>>
The picture thus captioned at http://www.edf.fr/fichiers/fckeditor/File/EDF-Nos-Energies/N...
shows a man with a meter beside the drum, so "mesure" here has to be not the value or level recorded by measuring but the action of measuring.

Oops, meant to say "lead-lined".

Comment: "Thank you. What I meant was that the copying and pasting was not working on my computer, not on the system. And as far as I know, there is no way to enter accents by typing into the quesiton boxes. Thank you Margaret, for your post!!

radiation level from a lead(-lined) container/flask
Lead is the material of choice for absorbing radiation, hence lead containers are used for keeping and transportingradioactive sources.

: Unless it's the action of measurement, not the value obtained.
