Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Program
An Overview of Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation
Embedded Files
The Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies (NEET) program was initiated in 2012 by the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) to conduct research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) in crosscutting technologies that directly support and enable the development of new and advanced reactor designs and fuel cycle technologies. Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation (ASI) is one program element of NEET Crosscutting Technology Development (NEET-CTD) that is being carried out to:
- Foster the research and development (R&D) required to identify and deploy innovative and advanced instrumentation and control (I&C) capabilities needed by future nuclear energy systems and;
- Enable the advanced I&C technologies essential to DOE-NE R&D efforts to realize mission goals.
The NEET ASI program emphasizes four strategic I&C areas of research. These strategic areas are: advanced sensors; digital monitoring and control; nuclear plant communication; and advanced concepts of operation.
This presentation will provide an overview of the Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies program on Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation and the technologies being developed and deployed through this innovative Nuclear Energy program.
