A team of researchers at the University of Michigan has developed a groundbreaking real-time, 3D temperature mapping system for nuclear microreactors.
Nuclear microreactors, small enough to be transported by a semi-truck, are seen as a viable solution for providing energy in remote locations, disaster relief situations, and military operations.The new system, detailed in a study published in Applied Mathematical Modelling, utilizes a novel theoretical foundation to evaluate basis functions, which are used to describe fundamental trends in data.
“One of the main challenges” to achieving wider adoption of nuclear microreactors is the ability to ensure that we know what’s going on inside the reactor at any given time, said Brendan Kochunas, an associate professor at U-M and senior author ofThe researchers believe their method, which is well-suited for remote operation due to its computer-memory-aware nature, could be a game-changer for digital twin systems.

South African researchers test use of nuclear technology to curb rhino poachingResearchers in South Africa have injected radioactive material into to the horns of 20 rhinos as part of a research project aimed at reducing poaching. The idea is that radiation detectors already in place at national borders would detect the horns and help authorities arrest poachers and traffickers.
