NUCLEAR REACTORS
A carbon dioxide cooled reactor having a moderator penetrated by channels charged with fuel elements is provided with means for comparing the general carbon monoxide content of the coolant with the carbon monoxide content emerging from selected channels. These means comprise a multi-selection valve, sampling pipes leading from the fuel element channels to the inlets of the multiselection valve, a differential infrared gas analyzer having a reference and a sample tube, a pipe connection from the outlets of the valve to the sample tube of the infrared gas analyzer, a further sampling pipe from the reactor containment vessel to the reference tube of the infrared gas analyzer, exit pipes from the sample tube, and a common pipe connecting with the exit pipes and the containment vessel.
