As part of Sandia Laboratories program to study simulated core disruptive accidents in reactor safety research, a fuel motion detection system based on coded aperture imaging is being developed. Although fuel motion has been observed at the TREAT by the fast neutron hodoscope and with a Vidicon pinhole camera technique, the coded aperture system described offers a potential for lower cost, higher spatial resolution, three dimensional imaging, and higher frame rates at lower fluences than either of the other techniques.
