IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO ELECTRICAL WARNING SYSTEMS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4836807

An electrical warning system is designed for detecting faulty fuel in power reactor installations. The system comprises a plurality of sampling and warning systems, into each of which is fed gas sampled sequentially from each of a group of fuel channels. Timing means is provided for driving the selector at a predetermined speed in each sampling and warning system, and a master timing means controls the system so that any faulty fuel can or a motor falling out of step is identified and an alarm sounded.
