Oak Ridge National Laboratory proposes to address the NEET (Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies) 2 requirements of specific critical need areas for monitoring in advanced reactors: 1) develop wireless technology to measure and transmit data on system temperature and pressure, by using improved radiation-hardened and temperature-tolerant wireless sensing electronic systems capable of multi-sensor transmissions enabled through the effective use of AlGaN/GaN circuits, and 2) increasing system cost-effectiveness and reliability fabrication, by reducing lengthy cabling and penetration costs and integrating with advanced control modules through a wireless base station capable of receiving and multiplexing data from multiple sensors.
