Advancement in additively manufactured strain gauges help address critical technology gaps to accurately monitor real-time materials behavior in reactor experiments. This is critical as it provides data to inform predictive models and simulations that enhance the development of reactors and fuel cycle systems. In this report, additively manufactured strain gauges are exposed to a neutron irradiation environment at the Ohio State University Research Reactor. This report goes over a 2-week campaign for neutron irradiating printed resistive strain gauges and capacitive strain gauges. These results complement the prior separate effects (i.e., mechanical strain, temperature, etc.) testing that were performed on these additive manufactured sensors and presented in prior milestone reports. These results also help progress our understanding of their usage in harsh environment applications. The outcome of developing advanced sensing and instrumentation capabilities plays an important role in increasing the safety, reliability, and energy efficiency of both next-generation and existing nuclear reactors.
