An on-line sodium sampling system (OLSS) is being installed in the Sodium Loop Safety Facility (SLSF) at INEL. The OLSS will provide real time detection of failed fuel pins via fission products deposited in the sodium. The SLSF, now in its fourth test in the Engineering Test Reactor (ETR), permits failed fuel testing under simulated LMFBR transient conditions. The OLSS loop will withdraw a sample stream from the SLSF test loop, and transport it through a delayed neutron monitor (DNM). The oxide control and indication system is provided as a subloop of OLSS to purify the OLSS/SLSF sodium.
