Abstract

976, 367. Monitoring reactors. NUCLEAR POWER PLANT CO. Ltd., and A. E. I.-JOHN THOMPSON NUCLEAR ENERGY CO. Ltd., [trading as NUCLEAR POWER GROUP]. April 29, 1963 [July 20, 1962], No. 28073/62. Heading G6C. In a leak detection system for fuel elements, at least two tapping points are provided per channel in at least some of the fuel channels of a nuclear reactor, and the two samples of cooling fluid taken from each such channel are conveyed to two independent fission product detection systems. In Fig. 1 the fuel channels 1 of a gas-cooled graphitemoderated reactor are connected in zones of 32 channels for the purpose of leak detection. Each zone is associated with a standpipe 2 and is divided into four groups a, b, c, and d. In each group samples of cooling gas from all the 8 channels are mixed together and pass to the outside of the reactor through group sample pipes 4. The sample taken from the other tapping point of each channel passes through a pipe 7 to a selector valve 8. In this way the group monitoring system and the individual channel monitoring system can operate independently of one another. Alternatively one tapping point may be connected to a group monitoring system and the other tapping point to a further group monitoring system for the same as a different group of channels. Specification 929,838 is referred to.
