NEUP CINR-18-15086: Development of optical fiber-based gamma thermometer and its demonstration in a University Research Reactor using statistical data analytic methods to infer power distributions from gamma thermometer response

The objective of the proposed research is to build and test optical fiber based gamma thermometer (OFBGT) using two University Research Reactors, and to develop methods to process the data that is produced by OFBGTs to produce estimates of the power density in the volume of the reactor that surrounds the OFBGTs. The project will: 1) develop a novel “Big Data” sensor 2) demonstrate the sensor’s performance in a reactor environment, and 3) utilize Big Data analytics to process the sensor output.
