  • Measurement core for measuring nuclear heating in a nuclear reactor and calorimetric sensor incorporating such a measurement core
    Patent number: 11971312
    Abstract: A measurement core for measuring nuclear heating, the core extending in a longitudinal direction and having a main plane, includes at least: a first layer of material, forming a first sample; a first thin layer of electrical insulation on the first sample; a thin conductive layer forming a heating electrical resistor on the first layer of electrical insulation; and a second thin layer of electrical insulation on the heating electrical resistor. A calorimetric sensor includes: an outer jacket; a gas contained in the jacket; a measurement core disposed in the jacket; a link for holding the core in the jacket and transferring the heat between the core and the jacket; and temperature measurement capable of measuring the temperature at a hot point, and the temperature at a cold point.
