AN AUTOMATIC GAS CHROMATOGRAPH FOR MONITORING OF REACTOR FUEL FAILURES. PART I. DESIGN
A device was developed for detecting the failure of a fuel element in a reactor by monitoring for the presence of gaseous fission products. Small amounts of gaseous fission products were detected in the presence of radioactive argon by separating the fission product gases from the argon by chromatography. An automatic sequencing device was provided for taking samples at short intervals to ensure rapid detection of failures. (auth)
