A review of online leak detection methods for reactor systems
Description
A review of methods for on-line leak monitoring indicates that acoustic emission has significant potential for light water reactor systems. Experimental results show that it is about 100 times more sensitive than methods used now. An analytical expression is given that indicates the acoustic energy generated is proportional to leak size.
