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.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
