  • Sodium-cesium ionization detector
    Patent number: 9921184
    Abstract: Sodium-cesium detection systems and methods for the simultaneous detection of both sodium (Na) and cesium (Cs) in gas are provided. The detection systems include two non-identical ionization chambers each having an anode and a cathode that ionize Na and Cs in gas. Each ionization chamber generates a current proportional to the Na and Cs concentration and based on the current, Na concentration and Cs concentration in the gas is determined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 20, 2018
    Assignee: TerraPower, LLC
    Inventors: Robert Alan Corbin, David Nash, Christopher M. Regan, Shane Schweiger, Randy Thompson, Jacob Wilcox
