“…The measurement also indicated that the electrochemical process is limited by the diffusion of carbon in the iron membrane. 15) The measurement of temperature coefficient can be adopted as another tool for understanding the performance of ECCM apart from foil equilibration. Thus, assuming the following half-cell reaction involves 4 electrons…”

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.
