5.6.1 Condition monitoring of coolant
It is important to monitor the level of radioactivity in the COi cooiant to provide warning of the following potential hazards:
• Release of long-lived fission products that could contaminate and limit access to reactor internals.
• Release of gaseous and volatile fission products from the vessel through leakage in normal operation and in a depressurisation accident.
A recent development is the use of an online gamma spectrometer using a gas chamber near a Ge/Li-drifted semi-conductor gamma detector cooled with liquid nitrogen. This enables gaseous radio isotopes to be identified and their quantitative concentrations displayed for each isotope. This technique enables very small leaks in the fuel cans to be detected and supplements the main failed fuel detection system.
