Abstract
Ultrasonic sensors have been proposed for monitoring nuclear fuel performance during transient irradiation tests. A specific need is to monitor strain or deformation of the fuel rods during irradiation. However, challenges associated with designing sensors that can operate under typical in-core conditions while providing the necessary sensitivity have limited their application. This paper describes ultrasonic sensor concepts for measurements during transient irradiation tests and results of laboratory tests to quantify their performance. Challenges associated with designing sensors for in-core deployment and potential solutions are also discussed.
