Development of Sensors for On-Line Monitoring of Nonmetallic Impurities in Liquid Sodium

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Sensors for on-line monitoring of hydrogen and carbon in sodium and hydrogen in argon cover gas circuits over sodium have been developed. The performance of these sensors in fast breeder test reactor (FBTR) and large sodium facilities is evaluated. A sensor for monitoring oxygen in sodium is under development. The in-sodium electrochemical hydrogen sensors are found to detect about 10 ppb increase in hydrogen concentration over a background of 50 ppb. The cover gas hydrogen monitoring sensor system is found to sense hydrogen down to 2 vppm in argon over sodium systems. Electrochemical carbon sensors are capable of detecting down to 1 ppm of carbon in sodium.
