Effectiveness of various leak-protection systems as initiators of automatic shutdown
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6214020
It is concluded that an acoustic system offers the best possibility for development as an intermediate leak protection/automatic shutdown system. There are two candidate acoustic systems: a low frequency system being developed by General Electric, and a high frequency system being developd by Atomics International with support from Argonne National Laboratory. In addition, a rapid response chemical leak detection system could be effective if the design goal for response time can be increased from 20 seconds to approximately one minute.
