Abstract

AbstractA hydrogen concentration measurement device is developed for nuclear reactor primary circuits water. Despite the necessity to monitor hydrogen, only one producer offers a really selective hydrogen sensor on the world market because of the complexity of the device preparation when long‐term signal stability is required. Therefore, the Mass Transfer Laboratory at UCT Prague shares the experience gained during the sensor development. The results of the amperometric hydrogen sensor laboratory tests are presented, which demonstrate how to improve the sensor durability. An operational test in Dukovany nuclear power plant confirmed a significant improvement of the latest sensor version and showed that a simple principle could be realized in the form of a reliable device for industrial measurements.
