A Rugged On-Line Heavy Water Monitor Designed for Plant Conditions

Abstract

Extensive operating experf.ence with the present design of on-line heavy water monitors has identified specific design features which restrict their applicability or add considerably to the capital and operating costs. To overcome these fundamental limitations, the basic instrument has been re-engineered. While still retaining the same accuracy and resolution of the existing instruments, the new design is more tolerant of operating and environmental parameters and requires no special station services, thus reducing the overall monitoring costs.
