<p>A sub-assembly for detecting leaks of a liquid metal circulating in a component of a circuit such as a conduit or a valve or contained in a storage means such as a reservoir, comprising electrically conductive elements arranged inside an electrically insulating material, wherein said insulating material consists of a rigid shell the inner surface of which is adapted to the outer surface of said component, while open grooves are formed on the inner surface of the shell for receiving said electrically conductive elements, the grooves having a widened portion remote from the inner surface of the shell, receiving the electrically conductive elements, and a portion of reduced width located between the widened portion and the inner surface of the shell and maintaining the electrically conductive elements at a spacing from said inner surface.</p> |
