About this opportunity
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 differe...
