The invention relates to a system and method for detecting a leaking individual fuel channel in a nuclear reactor. The claimed system includes a plurality of inlet lines (74), where each line feeds an annular fluid, in parallel, to an annulus space (44) of each of a plurality of fuel channels (28), a plurality of outlet lines (72), where each collects in parallel the annular fluid exiting an annulus space (44) of each of a second plurality of fuel channels (28) included in the reactor (6), some valves (68) positioned at an inlet of each line of a plurality of inlet lines (74) and some moisture detectors (67) positioned at an outlet of each line of the plurality of outlet lines (72). The claimed detection method consists in feeding the annular fluid into a reactor, by means of a plurality of inlet lines, each of the plurality of inlet lines feeding annular fluid into an annulus space of a plurality of fuel channels in the reactor, and in collecting the annular fluid exiting the reactor in a plurality of outlet lines, each of the outlet lines receiving in parallel annular fluid exiting an annulus space of each of the second plurality of fuel channels included in the reactor. |
