Fibre optic sensors for safety measurements in nuclear power plants during severe accidents

The project is aimed at the research in the field of fibre optic sensors and systems for monitoring of environmental conditions inside the nuclear power plant containment. It will focus on optical methods for measurement of physical variables such as temperature, pressure, vibrations and shape deviations under extreme conditions. The primary concern is the reliable operability during severe accidents, i.e. when radiation level and temperature significantly increases within the containment.
