| Abstract Scope |
As part of the Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation program, Idaho National Laboratory and Boise State University have recently established capabilities to develop, fabricate and test advanced manufactured (AM) in-pile sensors and instrumentation. Incorporation of AM techniques provides a solution for instrumentation challenges associated with space-limited applications while also enabling significant expansion of device design possibilities. A significant thrust of this work includes the development of AM feedstock to create a database of nuclear grade inks, and initial efforts towards down selecting materials were guided by efforts in AM peak temperature sensors and AM neutron dosimeter development. Recent work includes benchmark testing the response of AM melt wire materials and AM neutron dosimeters against their classically fabricated counterparts to evaluate performance reliability. These recent efforts demonstrate the significant potential for incorporating AM techniques for the development of miniaturized and novel sensors and instrumentation for in-pile applications. |
