Containment Gas Monitoring

Monitoring the parameters and gas composition of the atmosphere within the containment provides invaluable information to operators during normal operations and becomes even more critical in the event of accidents. For emergency planning, particularly concerning the mitigation of hydrogen deflagration threats, it is crucial to accurately determine the hydrogen concentration inside the containment. The formation of explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen can result in catastrophic consequences for both the environment and the population.
Framatome’s Containment Gas Monitoring Systems offer a comprehensive range of applications for monitoring various parameters, such as hydrogen (H₂), oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and steam, within the containment atmosphere during both normal operations and post-accident scenarios.
