An apparatus for detecting a leakage of heavy water in a nuclear reactor system and a method for detecting a leakage of heavy water using the same are disclosed to sensitively monitor a leakage of heavy water within a nuclear reactor system in the air or to a secondary side of a steam generator in real time by taking an air test sample around a pressure tube or delayed neutron tube of the nuclear reactor system or a test sample from the secondary side of the steam generator and measuring molecules of mixed heavy water by using the laser absorption spectroscopy, and a method for detecting a leakage of heavy water using the same. The apparatus for detecting a leakage of heavy water in a nuclear reactor system includes: a diode laser that generates a laser beam and injects the generated laser beam to a test sample placed in a light absorption cell; the light absorption cell that accommodates a gathered test sample therein; a vacuum pump that adjusts a degree of vacuum of the light absorption cell; a test sample introduction unit that gathers an air test sample from a location with a high possibility of a leakage of heavy water or a light water test sample from a secondary side and transfers it to the light absorption cell; an optical detector that detects a laser beam which has passed through the light absorption cell; and a microprocessor that controls the operation of the diode laser, the light absorption cell, the vacuum pump, the test sample introduction unit, and the optical detector, receives a detect signal from the optical detector, and analyzes an absorption spectrum signal.
