Position Sensors Support Nuclear Power Applications
Radiation-resistant linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) are available in multiple temperature ranges for nuclear power applications, including next-generation reactors. Constructed with heat-resistant materials and specialized coatings, the sensors withstand up to 100 Mrad of total integrated flux while maintaining accuracy and reliability. Three temperature ranges address diverse thermal environments — standard range to 300°F for valve position monitoring and structural deflection, high temperature range to 500°F for hotter zones, and extreme temperature range to 1,000°F for advanced nuclear systems including molten-salt reactors. The range features corrosion-resistant Inconel or Hastelloy housings compatible with molten salt environments. The non-contacting design reduces maintenance needs in areas with access restrictions due to radiation exposure. The sensors are suitable for containment structure monitoring, control rod position feedback, valve position control, and structural deformation applications.
