BURST CARTRIDGE DETECTION EQUIPMENT FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4719227
Experience with the Calder Hall type of nuclear reactor has shown that fuel elements fail in two ways; one is a slow failure which takes place over several hours and the other is a rapid failure in a matter of minutes. This patent relates to a burst cartridge detection equipment for nuclear reactors which is particularly adapted to detect these two types of failure to the greatest economic advantage. This equipment of the kind in which samples of cooling fluid are arranged to be drawn from each of a plurality of fuel element channels of the reactor and monitored, comprises first monitoring means to monitor a group of said channels at one sensitivity, second monitoring means simultaneously to monitor the remainder of said channels at another sensitivity lower than the first, and sequence means to cause the first monitoring means sequentially to monitor all of said channels in groups while the remainder is being monitored by the second monitoring means.
