OSTI ID:4055442
Systems for detecting burst slugs in gas cooled reactors are described. A coarse scanning unit periodically monitors a number of fuel channels for fast bursts, and a fine scanning unit periodically monitors single channels for slow bursts. The coolant gas is filtered to remove solid matter, then electrostatically precipitated onto a section of wire. The activity from the coolant itself is decreased by the precipitation. The final activity of the wire indicates the presence or absence of burst slugs. The Windscale AGR continuous burst detection system is described. The use of these systems in water cooled reactors is discussed. (T.F.H.)
