Device for monitoring a nuclear reactor

摘要

A device (130A) for monitoring a reactor (110) during normal and off-normal operating conditions includes a case (305) formed of a rigid material, the case (305) including a shielding layer (307) configured to insulate an internal portion of the device from external heat and radiation; a coupling unit (310) configured to adhere the case to a surface location of a reactor (110); a sensing unit (315) configured to generate environmental measurements (317) by measuring environmental conditions in the vicinity of the reactor (110); a data processing unit (320) configured to generate measurement data (322) by processing the environmental measurements (317); a transmitter (325) configured to transmit the measurement data (322) externally from the device; and a power unit (330) configured to power the device (130A) independently of an external power source.
