NEUP CINR-17-12527: Additive manufacturing of thermal sensors for in-pile thermal conductivity measurement

The project goal is to develop and demonstrate an additive manufacturing approach to fabricate nonintrusive and spatially resolved sensors for in-pile thermal conductivity measurement. We propose to print thermal conductivity sensors onto fuel components using an aerosol jet printing approach, and study in-pile performance of the printed sensors through irradiation and post-irradiation test. This research has the potential to establish a new sensor manufacturing paradigm for nuclear industry.
