ABSTRACT:
A method of identifying leaky components of a multi-component system in wh the individual components contain a charge. Additional substances having different element or isotope compositions are added to these charges to code them. If leaks occur, element or isotope analysis of the escaping charges then allows identification of the leaky component. If the multi-component system includes a nuclear reactor, different element or isotope combinations of krypton and xenon may be added to the individual fuel rods during production, and optical saturation spectroscopy may be used to analyze the leaking gases.
