A real-time high-sensitivity fuel failure detection (FFD) method has been developed, where a wire precipitator radiation detector measures noble-gas fission products (FPs) released from a High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR). By changing the reference counting rate of the precipitator between the normal state and the failed fuel state in real time in response to reactor operation conditions, i.e. reactor power, fuel temperature, coolant-gas flow rate and so on, fuel failure with an extremely low failure fraction (Release-to-Birth ratio <5 ×10<SUP>-6</SUP>) can be detected. The reference counting rate is obtained by adding an operational tolerance to the background counting rate that is estimated by a diagnostic equation. The diagnostic equation consists of a release equation for estimating the release rate of noble-gas FPs, a gas circulation equation for calculating concentrations of noble-gas FPs in the primary coolant system and a response equation for determining the detection efficiency of the wire precipitator. The feasibility of the method was evaluated by irradiation experiments using gas swept capsules and the Oarai Helium Gas Loop (OGL-1) in the Japan Material Testing Reactor (JMTR). The background counting rate was estimated with an error of about 20% in real time by the diagnostic equation.
