Zusammenfassung
Die Entwicklung von In-Core Flußdetektoren zum Einsatz in SchnellenNatriumgekühlten Brutreaktoren befindet sich noch im Anfangsstadiumund es gibt für solche Detektoren nur wenig Betriebserfahrung. Daherwurden "Self-Powered" Neutronen- und Gamma-Detektoren und neutronen-empfindliche Ionisationskammern, welche spezieJLl für den Einsatz innatriumgekühlten Reaktoren entwickelt wurden, in der KompaktenNatriumgekühlten Kernenergieanlage KNK II erprobt.
Insgeamt wurden sieben Flußdetektoren in den KNK-II-Kern mittelseines speziellen Testeinsatzes eingebaut. Fünf von ihnen wurden schonwährend der ersten Betriebswoche im Reaktor defekt. Aufgrund von elek-trischen Widerstands- und Kapazitätsmessungen scheint dies durch Natrium,welches in die Detektoren und die Kabel eindrang, verursacht worden zusein. Da durch Vorprüfungen die Dichtigkeit der Detektoren und der Kabelzum Zeitpunkt des Einbaus nachgewiesen wurde, wird deshalb Rißbildungin den Detektor- oder Kabelmänteln während des Einsatzes in Natriumvermutet. Nur zwei Ionisationskammern zeigten nicht solche Defekte.Aber eine von ihnen versagte ebenfalls, was sich durch Verlust dertypischen Strom-Spannungscharakteristik bemerkbar machte. Bei der anderenverringerte sich die Empfindlichkeit während der Testperiode auf ca. 20 %vom Anfangswert. Es wird vermutet, daß in beiden Fällen Veränderungendes Füllgases eine Rolle spielen.
Summary
The development of In-Core Detectors for Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors(LMFBRs) is still in an early stage and little operating experience isavailable. Therefore "Self-Powered" Neutron and Gamma Detectors and neutronsensitive ionization chambers -especially developed for LMFBRs- have beentested in the Fast Sodium Cooled Test Reactor KNK II.
All in all seven flux detectors have been installed in the core of KNK IIby means of a special test rig. Five of them failed already within the firstweek during operation in the reactor. Due to measurements of electricalresistances and capacities, sodium penetrating into the detectors or cablesprobably seems to be the cause. As tests prior to the installation in thecore proved the tightness of all detectors at the beginning of the tests/it is suspected that small cracks have developed in the detector casingsor in the outer cable sheaths during their exposure to the hot coolant.Only two ionization chambers didn't show such faults. However, one of thosefailed because the saturation current plateau disappeared and the otherone's sensitivity decreased by a factor of five during the test period. Itis suspected that in both cases changes of the filling gas might be involved.
1. Introduction
In-Core flux detectors which have been developed for thermal reactors
cannot be used in liquid metal fast breeder reactors (LMFBRs) mainly
because in the latter case higher operating temperatures (up to 600 C)
are required. Therefore special in-core flux detectors for LMFBRs
have been or are being developed. They will be necessary for large
cores, especially for large heterogeneous cores. So far only very
little operating experience is available for those detectors. There-
fore self-powered neutron and gamma detectors and neutron sensitive
ionization chambers have been tested in KNK II in the frame of the
experimental program for this reactor. The following report describes
the results.
2. Description of the Experimental Set-up
The following flux detectors have been tested in the core of KNK Ii;
Three neutron sensitive ionization chambers (Fl, F2, F3), two neutron
sensitive self-powered detectors (S3, S4) and two gamma sensitive
self-powered detectors (SI, S2). Table 1 and Table 2 at the end of the
report show the specifications of these detectors as provided by the
manufacturers. With one exception (F3) all of them were commercially
available.
All detectors were installed in the reactor by means of a special
test rig at the outer boundary of the reactor driver zone. The axial
detector position was the core mid-plane. The test rig is described
in /!/. All detectors were in direct contact with the coolant. Fig. 1
shows schematically the electtrical circuits which were used for the
performance tests of the detectors.
In order to reduce the leakage current from the central conductor
(No. 1 in Fig. 1) at high temperature the detector F3 was equipped
with an integrated triaxial cable. The intermediate screen (No. 2 in
Fig. 1) had always the same voltage as the central conductor to the
detector anode. Thus a leakage current from the central conductor to
- 2 -
- 2 -
the cable sheath through the insulator could be avoided which would
erroneously increase the anode-current I- due to the neutron flux.
All other detectors were also provided with integrated cables, SI
through S4 with a twinax . design but Fl and F2 only with a coax
design.
The voltage supply could be varied from 0 to 200 Volt in order to
measure the saturation current curves.
The resistances .and capacities of the detectors and the cables were
measured after installation of the detectors in the core but before
power ascension /2/. These measurements confirmed that their electri-
cal properties had not changed during the mounting and that a proper
functioning could be expected.
3. Performance Tests in the Reactor
3.1 lonization Chambers
3.1.1 Saturation Current Curves
3.1.1.1 Comparison of all detectors
A sensitive indication for a properly operating ionization chamber
is the current versus voltage diagram. It should show a saturation
current (plateau) within a wide voltage range. The slope of the plateau
tangent is determined by the leakage current and should be small.
Fig. 2 shows the saturation curves for all ionization chambers at
52 % power level and 90 hours after their installation in the reactor.
The coolant temperature at the position of the detectors was about
400 C. It did not vary significantly with the reactor power because
the coolant flow was changed in proportion to the reactor power.
The ratio of the saturation currents between the detectors Fl, F2
and the detector F3 agrees with a deviation of 8 % with the ratio
of the nominal sensivities. The plots show also that the plateau of
F3 is flatter than those of Fl and F2. This was expected because of
the different cables (triaxial for F3 and coaxial, for Fl, F2; see
para. 2). Though F3 reaches its saturation current only at 60 V
- 3 -
- 3 -
(compared to 15 V for Fl and F2) its plateau width is not significantly
smaller than those of. the other ones as it extends to 200 V (see e.g.
Figs. 5 and 6).
3.1.1.2 Variation of the Plateau Characteristics with
Increasing Irradiation Time
The Figs. 3 and 4 show how the plateau characteristics of the detectors
Fl and F2 deteriorated after a few days. As the reactor power level
changed between 30 % and 50 % during this period, all measurements
were normalized to a power level of 40 %.
After 3 days in the reactor (corresponding to an integrated flux of
nvt = 1.5 • 1020—2) tne detector Fl had completely lost its plateau
characteristics and could not be used any more. The same happened to
the detector F2 after 14 days (corresponding to nvt = 3.2 * 1020—2)-
However at the very beginning (measurements No. 1 and 2 for Fl and
No. 1 - 4 for F2) the tendency was different, i.e. the plateau became
flatter. This is probably due to the fact that the leakage current,
due to temperature and irradiation, decreases to an equilibrium level
during operating voltage supply (see also para 3.1.2.3). But afterwards
the plateaus became always steeper until they completely disappeared.
The first idea that this might be caused by a decreasing insulation
resistance of the detector or of the cable or of both turned out to
be wrong. When the reactor was shut down again the leakage currents
and insulation resistances could.be directly checked! (measurement ,'•.
No» 5 for Fl and. Nor. 8 for i'2).-,At -that time there was...no change between
the values before and after irradiation. When the reactor operation
was resumed the detector currents did still further increase. Thus
any responsible effect for this behaviour had not changed the insula-
tion resistance (at least at lower temperatures of about 200 C) butit
must have changed such characteristics which are directly connected
to the detection process. This suggests that the state of the gas
filling may have changed (e.g. the pressure or the composition) during
the test period in the reactor. The gas pressure can change when small
- 4 -
- 4 -
cracks develop in the detector case and the composition can change
if outgassing occurs within the detector due to the high temperature.
When the insulation resistances were checked again seven months later,
a decrease from more than 2 - 1 0 ft to 134 ft was observed for Fl /2/. *)
This additional failure was then probably caused after the first one
by a defect of the chamber casing or of the outer cable sheath allowing
sodium to penetrate into the insulator.
The detector F3 did not show such a drastic change of its plateau
characteristics as can be seen from Figs. 5 and 6. The plateaus were
generally very flat during the whole test period independent of the
reactor power, except for a temporary change (Measurements No. 9 and
10 in Fig. 6).
3.1.2 Absolute Detector Sensitivities

The contribution /I.. of the gamma sensitivity (e .) and the gamma
flux (0~) to the measured detector current I., was estimated by means
of the specified e (from the manufacturer) and the calculated flux

than 1 %.

3.1.2.3 Influence of the Leakage Current
As discussed in para. 2 the cable of detector F3 was equipped with
a special intermediate screen (No. 2 in Fig. Ic) in order to reduce
the leakage current from the inner conductor (No. 1 in Fig. 1) to
the outer sheath. The relatively flat plateaus obtained for this
detector (see Figs. 2 and 5) proves the efficiency of this device.
The measured "Leakage current from the intermediate screen to the
outer sheath !„ was rather high (- 30 yA at 100 V) immediately after
applying the voltage but decreased to an asymptotic value after several
hours. This effect was probably due to a surplus of electrons pro-
duced by irradiation in the insulator whose density decreases when
an external voltage is applied. The asymptotic value of 5 yA at
100 V corresponds to a resistance of 2 • 10 tt for ambient tempera-
tures from 400 C to 550 C for the detector and the upper part of the
cable respectively. However this effect had of course no influence
on the detector current I,,,.IM
By mismatching intentionally the voltages of the guard screen (U )
and of the anode (U,M) a possible residual leakage current has been
checked. It turned out to be negligible as long as both voltages
agreed within less than 1 %.
The detector currents of Fl and F2 were however disturbed by leakage
currents as their cables were not delivered with a guard screen. This
can be seen directly from the slope of the plateau characteristic.
The insulation resistance at operating temperature was estimated from
the plateau tangent:
=7,3
which agrees well with the value given by the manufacturer (see Tab.l).
The resulting leakage current for 100 V operating voltage is I = 13 yA
which is 40 % of the total detector current at 50 % reactor power.
This big amount has been corrected in the evaluation of £M.

3.1.3 Linearity of the Detector Response and its Dependence
on the Burn up.
Because of the early failure of the detectors Fl and F2 these tests
could only be performed with the detector F3. Fig. 7 shows the measured
detector current I.. in dependence of the reactor power. Only the
first measurements (No. 1 to 5) show a linear relationship as indicated
by the line in Fig. 7. The subsequent three measurements (No. 6 to 8)
are slightly below this line. All other detector currents measured
later at almost full power (No. 9 to 16) are far below the expected
values. This means that the detector efficiency has decreased gradu-
a'lly. Fig. 8 shows this explicitely. Here the detector efficiency e
is plotted versus time integral of the reactor power(burn up) and the
neutron flux starting from the installation of the detectors in the
core. The definition of e isP
detector current I1we - = IMp reactor power
The first measurements (No. 1 to 5) being made with an integrated20 1
flux nvt < 3 • 10 —j are obviously scattered around a constant
value. With increasing integrated reactor power the detector efficiency20 1
decreased first continuously until nvt = 14 • 10 —7 was reached.
(Measurements No. 6 to 8). During a small further increase of the
reactor fuel burn upsa very abrupt decrease of e by more than a
factor 2 was observed (between measurements No. 8 and 9). Then ?
still decreased continuously with increasing burn up until the
reactor was shut down after measurement No. 12. At the next measure-
ment (No. 13) following a reactor shut down period of
more than 3 months the ep had increased a little bit but then again
continuously decreased. At the end of this test period £ seemedP
to have reached an asymptotic value (Measurement No. 16). So far
no explanation can be given for this behaviour.
Fuel burn up must be excluded even for the first period (up to measure-
ment No. 8) where e only slightly decreased. The relative change ofp . .
g due to fuel burn up is given by~ "~~_ ________ , _

where a is the reactor fuel burn up
a,, the fission cross section of the fuel and
a the neutron cross section of the sensitive
detector material.
A numerical calculation showed that during this test E should
remain practically constant.
It is interesting that after the sudden decrease of e (measurementP
No. 9) the plateau characteristic also deteriorated (see Fig. 6) but
within 3 days resumed its original flat slope. This seems to indi-
cate that a change of the fission gas which occured temporarily could
be related to this behaviour. However the only possibility to find
a definite explanation for it will probably be a direct post irradiation
inspection as discussed in /2/.
3.2. Self Powered Detectors
3.2.1 Detector Lifetime
The first measurement with the self-powered detectors has been made
four days after their installation in the core corresponding to an
integrated power of 78 MWd. The results are discussed in the next
paragraph. It is the only useful measurement which would be obtained
with these detectors because afterwards the detector current decreased
rapidly within a few days to zero. Resistance measurements during a
following reactor shut down showed that the insulation resistance R
had decreased from originally R > 2000 Mft to 14 tt /2/. This indicates
that the detector casing or the cable sheaths became leak and sodium
pentrating through the insulation has probably caused the damage.
3.2.2 Comparison of Evaluated and Measured Detector Currents
The measured detector currents are compared with expected values

For this comparison it has to be considered that the evaluated
detector currents are affected with relatively big errors:
For the neutron sensitive detectors S3 and S4 with Rhodium-emitters
I1 is given to about 95 % by the (n,g) reaction. The rest is due
to the reactions (y,e ) and (n,y}e ). From the manufacturer no
information of the corresponding detector sensitivity was available
(for the Rh- as well as for the Pt-detectors). The values given in
the literature /3,4,5/ for the (n,3) reaction in the Rh-detectors vary from•™ 91
about 1 to 2*10 ' £A/( ({»thermal)] for 1 cm emitter length. The detector
current !,„ due to the thermal flux was evaluated with an intermediate-21
value of 1.5'10 A/((j)'cm). Another inaccuracy comes from the fact
that in KNK II the thermal flux <j> contributes only with about 5.4 %.
to the total reaction rate in the detectors S3 and S4. The total de-
tector current I, was therefore determined by calculating the ratio
of the reaction rates due to the thermal and the total neutron flux
using a 26-group neutron flux calculation and the corresponding (n,3)
cross-sections.
For the y sensitive detectors SI and S2 with Platinum-emitters, I.. is
given to about 76% by the reaction (y,e ). The corresponding sensitivity
e found in the literature |5,6| varied between 1 to 2'10 [A/(R/h)]
for 1 cm emitter length. Using a calculated dose rate of 8.47 R/h
(at full reactor power) for the detector position and e =1,5 • 10
[A/(R/h) cm] gives 76% of the calculated detector current. The rest is
due to (n,3) and (n,y,e ) processes and has also been evaluated using a
26-group neutron flux calculation and the corresponding reaction cross
sections.

The conversion of the(n,ß) reaction rate to the detector current is done
in the same way as for the Rhodium-Detectors S3,S4. The conversion of the
(n,Y>e )reaction rate to the detector current contribution has been cal-
culated by using the value given in | 7
4. Conclusions
From the seven tested detectors all failed except, for F3 within the
first week after their installation in the reactor being operated with an
average power level of only 43%. This happened though the operating con-
ditions were well within the limits given by the manufacturers. In the
most cases the failures are probably caused by defects of the detector
casing or the cable sheaths. This allowed sodium to penetrate into the
insulation material thus reducing the resistances as observed.
Prior to this damage the composition of the filling gas must have changed
in the detectors Fl and F2. Only the ionization chamber F3 could be
operated during the whole test period. However the big reduction of its
sensitivity i a facor of five during this time cannot yet be explained.
These observations show that the performance of all In-Core flux
detectors which have been texted so far in KNK II were unsatisfactorily.
Further tests are only reasonable for versions being improved with
respect to the observed faults. This requires at least a full understan-
ding of the reasons for these faults. This would require post irradia-
tion investigations.
