NEUP CINR-22-26607: An Innovative Monitoring Technology for the Reactor Vessel of Micro-HTGR

We will develop an innovative sensor technology for real-time monitoring of the thermo-mechanical stresses in the reactor vessel of micro-HTGR. The technology will be based on a sparse network of outer wall temperature measurements and plant operating conditions. We will implement and test an integrated software-hardware sensing system aimed at monitoring the health of the pressure vessel of gas micro-reactors. The proposed work will have a broad impact on sensing in other reactor designs.
