In a closed coolant loop of a nuclear reactor there is provided an apparatus for purifying contaminated nuclear reactor coolant gas of nuclear decomposition products, comprising filtering means for filtering a uniform flow of contaminated gas to be purified, the filtering means having components consisting at least partly of copper, gas removing means for removing a test quantity of the contaminated gas flowing through the filtering means, gas testing means connected to the gas removing means for receiving the test quantity and for analyzing the contaminating content of the test quantity, and means for selectively adding quantities of reducing and oxidizing gases to the contaminated gas so as to simultaneously regenerate the components of the filtering means as the contaminated gas is being purified. |
