High Temperature Irradiation-Resistant Thermocouple Qualification (Test Results Report)
- Idaho National Lab. (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
This is a qualification report for the high-temperature irradiation-resistant thermocouple (HTIR-TC) developed by Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation program. Utilizing the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) 5/6/7 test conducted in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory, the HTIR-TCs measured temperatures upwards of 1500°C during accident conditions. The HTIR TCs are thus qualified to perform and withstand an 18-month refueling cycle typical of nuclear power plants at the normal operating temperature, with a drift of less than ±1%. The HTIR-TC is also qualified for incorporating into a test fixture during new fuels tests.
