NEUP CINR-21-24697: Dual External Leak Sensing and Monitoring for Dry Storage Canister

This project aims to develop two complementary external sensing methods to evaluate the integrity of DSC through internal pressure monitoring and helium leakage detection. The proposed diffuse ultrasonic wave method will be able to measure biaxial strains in the canister wall with high sensitivity and minimum temperature effects. An innovative capacitance MEMS sensor will be developed for helium concentration measurement in air based on the extremely low permittivity of helium.
