This power point presentation is a summary of the work produced in FY2021 under the LWR Fuel Reinstrumentation project funded by DOE's Advanced Sensor Initiative, and the outlook for FY22. The objective of this portion of the ASI program is to "Capture critical technology created by the Institute For Energy (formerly Halden Reactor Project) to reinstrument irradiated fuel rodlets, and further this technology to enable incorporation of advanced instrumentation: fiberoptics, LVDTs, ultrasonic based sensors". The presentation explains that two of the three equipment modules were received and INL and a number of practice runs were conducted with them. In FY22 the third equipment module will arrive and using the three equipment modules measurement sciences personnel will create a complete prototypical instrumented fuel rodlet (using ceramic surrogates in the place of UO2).
