The Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation (ASI) program, on its seventh fiscal year, continues to address key technology gaps for future nuclear energy systems. ASI’s goal is to enable the advanced instrumentation and control (I&C) technologies essential to the Office of Nuclear Energy’s research and development (R&D) efforts needed to realize its mission goals. Information on our projects can be found in our ASI annual awards summaries, annual review webinars, and newsletters posted in the Office of Nuclear Energy website (energy.gov/ne). This year, we have initiated three newly awarded projects in the area of data analytics. We also initiated a project to develop and demonstrate a prototype passive wireless sensor network. This sensor will use advanced manufacturing and printing, and be tested and demonstrated at a U.S. nuclear power plant facility. In addition, we are developing a sensor database to capture advanced sensor and instrumentation technology that is applicable to nuclear power plants. Under the In-Pile Instrumentation program, we continue to develop unique in-pile sensors and instrumentation to provide real-time, accurate, and spatially resolved information regarding the performance of fuels and materials. Due to the closure of the Halden reactor, we are focusing our near-term research in providing equivalent capability for the instrumentation of irradiation experiments in the U.S. that are needed by the nuclear industry. As the ASI program continues to award projects through competitive solicitations, we encourage the I&C community to visit our website for current funding opportunity announcements, especially for the industry-focused solicitation entitled, “U.S. Industry Opportunities for Advanced Nuclear Technology Development.”
