Long-term stability and precision for critical nuclear systems
Market challenge
- Harsh environments: high radiation, temperature, pressure, and submerged conditions make traditional sensors unreliable.
- Fuel assembly and reactor monitoring require sub-millimetric precision, often over long time spans, with no access for recalibration.
- Structural integrity (floors, slabs, containments) must be tracked continuously for deformation, settlement or misalignment.
- Regulatory compliance demands traceable, qualified and drift-free measurements—sometimes over decades.
- In naval reactors, the environment is even more compact and confined, requiring ultra-robust, compact and embedded sensor systems.
Our expertise
FOGALE Sensors provides non-contact, high-stability measurement solutions specifically designed for the nuclear sector, both civil and defense. We combine:
- Proven performance in radiation-prone and submerged environments
- Capacitive and optical technologies adapted to various fuel configurations (flat or cylindrical)
- Structural monitoring tools with no recalibration needed over years
- Custom integration into OEM, utility or naval maintenance protocols
- A long track record of working with major turbine manufacturers, fuel designers, utilities, and national programs
Proven applications
