ABSTRACT:
Tracer gases are contained in a capsule which is closed-off by a fusible seal and placed within the interior of each fuel-pin can. The capsule is formed of material having a melting point above the operating temperature of the fuel pins within a nuclear reactor. The fusible seal is formed of material having a melting point below said temperature, with the result that the tracer gases are released into the interior of each fuel pin at that temperature.
