Additive Manufacturing of Miniaturized Peak Temperature Monitors for In-Pile Applications

Passive monitoring techniques have been used for peak temperature measurements during irradiation tests by exploiting the melting point of well-characterized materials. Recent efforts to expand the capabilities of such peak temperature detection instrumentation include the development and testing of...
