Methods and systems for detecting an individual leaking fuel channel included in a reactor. One system includes a plurality of inlet lines and a plurality of outlet lines. Each of the plurality of inlet lines feeding annulus fluid in parallel to an annulus space of each of a first plurality of fuel channels included in the reactor, and each of the plurality of outlet lines collecting in parallel annulus fluid exiting an annulus space of each of a second plurality of fuel channels included in the reactor. In some embodiments, the system also includes a detector positioned at an outlet of each of the plurality of outlet lines configured to detect moisture in annulus fluid and identify a first position of an individual leaking fuel channel, and an isolation valve positioned at an inlet of each of the plurality of inlet lines operable to stop annulus fluid from circulating through one of the plurality of inlet lines and to identify a second position of the individual leaking fuel channel. |
