Abstract Scope |
In this work, we discuss the development of low-cost 3D-printed Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensors optimized for remote monitoring of declared nuclear containers. Reducing the amount of time an inspector spends verifying container inventories using remote sensing instead of conventional tagging systems would be less intrusive, reduce radiation exposure to inspectors, and would provide a more efficient and effective method for these types of inspections. In addition, to ensure economic competitiveness and minimize sensor costs it is equally important to guarantee a simple, streamlined, and cost-efficient manufacturing procedure. The SAW sensors were customized to operate with unique RFID signatures using a state-of-the-art aerosol jet printer that enables the precise fabrication of sensors with features as small as 10 μm. |
