A Self-Powered, Wireless Sensor System for Remote and Long-Term Monitoring of Internal Conditions of Spent Nuclear Fuel Dry-Storage Casks
SBC: X-Wave Innovations, Inc. Topic: 33aA major concern with nuclear energy is the safe storage of the spent nuclear fuel before final disposal.A monitoring sensor located inside a storage cask to provide direct measurements of internal conditions is of particular interest to DOE.Conventional wireless sensors have inherent limitations because the stainless steel canister shields the RF signals from wireless sensors inside the canister t ...

Development of a Wind Turbine Blade Surface Coating to Reduce Damage due to Lightning
SBC: AQUANIS, INC. Topic: 14bEvery year, the global wind industry loses an estimated $100M or more to damage caused by lightning.A new blade coating will reduce the damage to wind turbine blades caused by lightning by promoting the formation of ionization channels over the surface of the turbine blades, providing a safe external path for lightning energy to reach ground and preventing damaging blade punctures.The coating cons ...

Integrated Membrane Reactor for Enhancing Thermal & Chemical Reactors
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 06cWith development of shale gas fracking, large amounts of methane and ethane have now become available at low cost. With this low cost ethane it is desirable to convert low cost ethane to high value ethylene. Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) for low cost conversion of ethane to ethylene is a potentially attractive route. ODH is an exothermic process for converting ethane to ethylene. By contrast pro ...

Fidelity Enhancement of Nuclear Power Plant Simulators Utilizing High Fidelity Simulation Predictions
SBC: WESTERN SERVICES CORPORATION Topic: 30cAccurate simulation of nuclear power plant behavior is necessary for both engineering and training applications. An engineering grade simulator, used for design, safety analysis and operations, is characterized by high fidelity, computational power, lack of real-time capability, and user non-interactive environment. By contrast, a training grade simulator, used for operator training and education, ...

Radiation Hardened Engineered Substrates for Time and Space Resolution
SBC: CACTUS MATERIALS, INC. Topic: 30bWe propose to develop engineered substrates to improve radiation hardness and stability of pixel sensors by using wafer bonding and graded epitaxial techniques. We aim to produce a moderately doped (1E13-1E16) thin buried gain layer (~4-6 micron) using graded epitaxy on a high resistivity bonded substrate. Current state-of-the-art is a proposed sensor design of low to moderate gain (x10-50) reach ...
