Xenon Detection Using Double-Pulse Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy has been proposed as a diagnostic tool for fuel failure monitoring in helium-cooled fast reactor designs. Here, we show preliminary results which indicate that using double-pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, a sub-ppm sensitivity for xenon in a helium ambient can be achieved. We additionally propose future studies which could help elucidate the mechanisms which lead to the observed signal enhancement.
