ABSTRACT:
Process and apparatus for the detection and prelocalization of a can fracture in a fuel assembly of a fast nuclear reactor.
The device comprises at least one detector for the neutrons emitted by the fission products transported in the outflow of cooling agent as the result of the fracture of a can, said detector being immersed within the vessel in the outflow of cooling agent in an area protected from neutrons emitted by the core by the volume of cooling agent and by structures immersed in the annular space between the core and the vessel.
