ABSTRACT:
A device and method for detecting a containment failure. The device has a gas supply means (18) for providing a gas to a containment failure volume (16, 60) and for maintaining a constant gas pressure in the containment failure volume. The device also has gas flow monitoring means (26) for monitoring flow of the gas into the containment failure volume. The flow of gas into the containment failure volume is indicative of a containment failure.
