    Pre-Deployment Tests of Signal Conditioning Boards for Wireless Sensor Network Deployment

    Abstract: AbstractDiversity in signal measurement and transmission increases signal availability. Various well known stabilized technologies are available to use to achieve diversity in signal measurement. But to achieve transmission diversity, the wireless technology is a truly diverse mechanism of wired transmission. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the practical implementation of such technology. To implement WSN for nuclear reactor signals, it requires stringent testing, qualification, verification and validation of WSN nodes and …

    Experimental Study on Radiation Immunity of In-House Developed WSN Nodes

    Abstract: Wireless sensor networking (WSN) technology is gaining importance in nuclear industry and its related applications. This wider acceptance of WSN can be attributed to its easy and fast deployment, reduction in cable cost, increase of system redundancy in critical applications of nuclear reactor and ease of maintenance of rotating equipment. A WSN node deployed in and around nuclear reactor may encounter gamma radiation dose, especially during some accidental conditions. Thus, …

    Wireless Sensor Network in Fast Breeder Test Reactor

    Abstract: The second stage of India’s three-stage nuclear energy programme envisages of the development of Sodium cooled fast breeder reactors. As a forerunner, Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) at Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam has been constructed. It is being operated successfully for more than 27 years. FBTR provides experience in fast reactor operation, fuel behavior, large scale sodium handling and is serving as a test bed for …

    Experimental Deployment of Wireless Sensor Network for Radiation Monitoring

    Abstract: To understand and predict the chemical behavior of fuels, coolants, fission products and structural materials Radio Chemistry Laboratory (RCL) has been established at Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research. RCL has structured facilities like hot cells, lead mini cells, radioactive sodium chemistry loops, glove boxes, etc., in which radioactive materials are being handled. This necessitates the radiation monitors to be placed in various locations of RCL to ensure that the …
