A moisture detection system for in-process nuclear fuel powder components includes a container within which the powder is located, a purge gas supply for providing a purge gas within the container, the purge gas contacting the powder and absorbing moisture therefrom, an off-gas line for transporting at least a portion of the purge gas after the purge gas contacts the powder and a moisture detector for determining the moisture in the purge gas. The moisture content of the purge gas provides an indication of the moisture content of the powder. A process for detecting moisture of an in-process nuclear fuel powder component includes the steps of supplying a purge gas, contacting the powder with the purge gas, transporting at least a part of the purge gas through an off-gas line, and measuring the moisture of the purge gas in the off-gas line, the moisture measurement providing a measure of moisture in the powder.
