Abstract (en)

[origin: US4625789A] The present invention relates to a double barrier heat exchanger between a radioactive primary fluid and a secondary fluid making it possible to detect a possible primary fluid leak in the exchanger. The primary fluid circulates in a primary duct and the secondary fluid circulates in a secondary duct, a junction matrix being positioned between the primary and secondary ducts and in contact with the latter. The matrix is in the form of a compact metallic mass incorporating at least one element, e.g. silver, which can be made raidoactive when it diffuses into the primary fluid. Application is to sampling circuits in nuclear reactors.
