The Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation (ASI) program began in fiscal year (FY) 2011 and has facilitated research and development (R&D) activities through both directed research and competitive awards. This Spring 2022 newsletter highlights the current progress of some of the ongoing research in the ASI program. These projects have been successful in advancing the state of the art for measuring, controlling, and broadly managing nuclear energy systems being developed by the DOE-NE. Some of these technologies have the potential to impact systems and technologies beyond nuclear energy. They all address critical needs and gaps in current capabilities and are aimed at many of the highest priorities shared by different R&D programs. They include participation from a number of laboratories, universities, and industry. The eventual goal for this research is the deployment of these technologies in a manner that most benefits individual DOE-NE R&D programs, the nuclear energy industry, as well as other power generation sectors. As these research projects progress, the interest from stakeholders and industry has also increased, as have the number of individual technology deployments.
