Abstract
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is engaged in research and development activities for the development of nuclear instrumentation that provides crosscutting support to US Department of Energy Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) programs. The combined application of laser and optical fiber technologies has the potential to offer innovative measurement solutions that could accelerate research and development activities and improve the competitiveness of advanced nuclear energy system. This paper discusses the main challenges encountered in the deployment of optical fiber sensors for nuclear applications based on the results of recent irradiation experiments in Material Test Reactors (MTRs) at INL and collaborating Organizations.
