Criteria for Detection of Small Sodium-Water Reactions in LMFBR Steam Generators.

1000 Mwe LMFBR STEAM GENERATOR.

“…Acoustic leak detectors have demonstrated their feasibility and have the potential for eliminating the transport-time lags associated with the other instruments. These detectors are desirable; however, they require development/ 7 ' Current design practice dictates the use of a vent and relief system to accommodate the products of large reactions. A rupture disc set for approximately 50 psig will be connected to the gas space above the sodium level in the unit.…”
