  • Nuclear reactor fuel integrity monitor
    Patent number: 9268034
    Abstract: A nuclear reactor fuel integrity monitor includes: a ?-ray detector which detects ?-ray of a specific radionuclide of a subject measurement medium of a nuclear reactor; a sample container which retains the subject measurement medium therein and surrounds the circumference of the ?-ray detector; and a measurement control device which performs a control so that a predetermined amount of the subject measurement medium is introduced into the sample container and calculates a concentration of the specific radionuclide from ?-ray data per each unit time detected by the ?-ray detector and a volume of the subject measurement medium introduced into the sample container.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 22, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2016
    Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.
