Detection of Simulated Steam Leak into Sodium in Steam Generator of PFBR by Argon Injection Using Signal Analysis Techniques

Reliable leak detection in a heat exchanger of a sodium-cooled fast reactor

“…To assess the performance of the SFR HE leak detection algorithm, the experiments are often built to be more or less representative of a real leak. It is done by water, hydrogen or neutral gas injection through the side wall of a real full scale or reduced HE [17,18] or in another representative loop [19,8].…”
