Reliable in-core instrumentation has been developed for measuring all key parameters for fuel studies such as fission gas release, fuel temperature, fuel swelling, cladding creep, etc. For material corrosion studies, new electrochemical sensors have been developed, allowing performing in-pile electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. A prototype in-core eddy current based probe has been developed for measuring the oxide thickness on fuel cladding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
