[en] One of the advantages of long time on full size LMFBR-components is that experience is gained nut only or, the behaviour of components at normal conditions, but also on the operational consequences (real or imaginary) disturbances. One of the most difficult situations that do occur during steam generator operation is the sudden appearance of a leak indication on the hydrogen detectors. It is possible to connect an automatic trip action to the hydrogen detector however, there are reasons not to do so. Spurious signals, which unfortunately do occur rather frequently, can cause unnecessary shut downs. In the case of a very small leak it can be very difficult to locate the leaking steam generator module and to get an impression of the size of the leak. The time available to confirm the leak, locate the component and to take the proper measures is strongly dependent on the leaking rate or translated into a visual signal, on the rate of rise of the hydrogen level shown on the instrument. During the operation of the 50 MW-SCTF at Hengelo experience was obtained with leak indications caused by real and imaginary leaks
