NEUP CINR-21-24449: Multi-modal Surface Acoustic Wave Sensing System for Pressure and Temperature monitoring of Spent Fuel Canisters

In this proposal, University of North Texas (UNT) is collaborating with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to develop a multi-modal wireless passive SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) sensor array, which are deployed on the outside surface of the canister, to monitor the strain of the canister and thus determine the inside pressure. In addition, the SAW strain sensor could also measure the surface temperature and potentially monitor helium gas leak.
