TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY
Solid State Nuclear Lasing Sensors: Revolutionizing In-Pile Reactor Measurements
Harness the power of solid-state lasing sensors for real-time, in-pile reactor power and flux measurements, enhancing accuracy and spatial resolution.
Overview: Traditional nuclear reactor power measurement methods rely on external instruments, often behind shielding, resulting in limited spatial resolution and potential inaccuracies due to spectral shifts and electronic drifts.
Description: This groundbreaking technology employs solid state lasing media/crystals, excited by various radiations within a reactor core, to produce laser light. The intensity of this light directly correlates with reactor power and radiation flux. By utilizing multiple lasing media doped with different fissile species, the instrument can determine both reactor power and energy spectrum. These passive instruments, requiring no in-core power, can be strategically placed within the reactor for real-time power/flux distribution measurements, with data transmitted via a simple fiber optic lead-out.
Benefits:
• Direct in-pile measurement enhances accuracy and spatial resolution.
• Real-time data integration potential for reactor control systems.
• Simplified design with a single optical fiber lead-out ensures durability in high radiation environments.
• Cost-effective solution for commercial nuclear power plants.
Applications:
• Commercial nuclear power plants.
• Micro nuclear reactors, especially in the emerging market.
• Space power and nuclear thermal propulsion reactors for remote operations.
Development Status: TRL 3 - Analytical and experimental proof-of-concept for critical functions/characteristics.
IP Status: US Patent Application No. 17/758, 395, “Solid State Nuclear Pumped Lasing Sensors for In Pile Reactor Power and Flux Measurement, Direct Energy Conversion, and Related Methods, ” BEA Docket No. BA-1125.
