To develop the small leak sodium-water reaction detection system in the steam generator for Fast Breeder Reactor, the series studies on system evaluation tests have been carried out at the 50MW Steam Generator Test Facility. This report deals with hydrogen and injection tests into the sodium outlet pipe from the superheater, test plans and test equipments for hydrogen injection tests into the evaporator, the response performances for the hydrogen meter and oxygen meter, detection ratio for hydrogen and oxygen and the water leak alarm system etc. The test results are summarized as follows: (1)Hydrogen injection tests & water injection tests into the sodium outlet pipe from the superheater were done and the hydrogen & oxygen behaviors were understood. (2)Hydrogen injection tests at the annulus, down-comer and cover-gas region in the evaporator were done and hydrogen behaviors were understood. (3)Hydrogen detection rates depending on hydrogen injection tests & water injection tests were arranged and factors giving the effect on the rate were evaluated. Also, hydrogen transfer times were evaluated. (4)Hydrogen detection rates at the water leakage in the evaporator were evaluated by the comparison of hydrogen injection test results & water injection test results into the sodium out1et pipe from the superheater and hydrogen injection test results into the evaporator. (5)The water leak alarm system by the computor was completed and the validity was confirmed.
