Innovative Instrumentation and Intelligent Diagnostic System for Reactor Safety

En’Urga Inc. is developing an intelligent diagnostics system to ensure reactor safety under a Phase I SBIR grant from the Department of Energy.   Reliable two phase flow diagnostics is required to monitor nuclear reactor function and operation under all conditions.  The technological challenge involved in future nuclear reactor systems is to assure that passive safety systems (which depend only on natural forces such as the gravitational force) that include the diagnostics, work properly under all emergency or accident conditions.
