ARRANGEMENT FOR DETECTING RADIATION CONTAMINATION OF THE COOLANT IN AN ATOMIC REACTOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4125355
An arrangement is designed for detecting damage in fuel rod sheaths in gss-cooled reactors. In this arrangement, the ducts are connected in a gas circuit in sets and the sets in turn are connected in groups, and a detector and a supervisory detector are provided for each group. Valve means, automatic switch means, and a timer are provided so thai when an anomaly is found in a set by the detector, the set is connected to the supervisory detector while the other sets continue to be monitored by the first detector.
