Abstract
In a system for detecting abnormal movement of a part of a gas-cooled nuclear reactor, for example abnormal tilting of a boiler unit caused by failure of a boiler support, a tracer material is released into the gas coolant path in response to the movement. The releasing of the material may be effected by causing a gas canister to be pierced as a result of the movement. The presence of the tracer material in the coolant is detected by the coolant monitoring system.
