In High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGR), the detection of leakage of helium at an early stage is very important for the safety and stability of operations. Since helium is a colourless gas, it is generally difficult to identify the location and the amount of leakage when very little leakage has occurred. The purpose of this R&D is to develop a helium-leak detection system for the high temperature environment appropriate to the HTTR. This system can shorten the time of detection to several hours from about one week in the current detection time. In addition, it can also identify easily the leak location using the optical fibre network. As the first step in the development, this paper describes the result of surveying leakage events at nuclear facilities inside and outside Japan and current gas leakage detection technology to adapt optical fibre detection technology to HTGRs.
