Abstract: A pressure sensor has a stem in which a pressure introduction hole into which a pressure medium is introduced and a diaphragm deformable according to the pressure of the pressure medium are formed, and a strain detecting element which is arranged on the diaphragm via an insulating film and being configured to output a detection signal according to the deformation of the diaphragm. The strain detecting element is configured to have a portion made of polysilicon. A low doping layer having a higher electrical resistivity than polysilicon and a higher crystallinity than the insulating film is arranged between the insulating film and the strain detecting element.

Abstract: The invention provides a piping wall thinning prediction system, a piping soundness evaluation system, and a method which can evaluate a wall thinning amount, a wall thinning rate, and a remaining life at a high speed based on limited actual measurement results, and identify a location requiring monitoring in a piping in a plant. The wall thinning prediction system includes: a first AI evaluation unit configured to evaluate a fluid characteristic value of a piping based on an input value including piping shape information and information of a fluid in the piping; and a second AI evaluation unit configured to evaluate an index related to wall thinning of the piping based on an input value including the fluid characteristic value. The wall thinning prediction system is configured to predict the index related to the wall thinning of the piping.

Abstract: It is possible to achieve self-support of the fuel assembly without an upper grid plate when the fuel assembly is mounted or replaced, and it is also possible to prevent the fuel assembly from floating during a reactor operation. According to the present invention, the lower portion of the lower tie plate 7 as a part of the fuel assembly 3, which is inserted into the fuel support 9, extends, and a stable member 21 is provided around the extension portion 20, and thereby it is possible to achieve the self-support of the fuel assembly without the upper grid plate. In addition, since an increase in a weight due to extension of the lower portion of the lower tie plate 7 can prevent the floating during the reactor operation, a floating preventing mechanism using the upper grid plate is not necessary.
