Nuclear energy is a form of energy derived from a nuclear reaction in which water is converted into steam by the heat emitted from the reactor, which then turns a turbine to generate electricity.
Nuclear energy can be generated by fission, fusion, or nuclear decay.A type of energy emitted by an atom’s nucleus, which is composed of protons and neutrons, is known as nuclear energy.
Fission, which occurs when atom nuclei split into several pieces, and fusion, which occurs when nuclei combine, are the two methods in which this type of energy may be created.
Nuclear energy is created by breaking uranium atoms, a process known as fission. This creates heat, which is used to make steam, which is then utilised by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Nuclear power facilities emit no greenhouse gases since they do not burn fuel.
The Global Nuclear Energy Harvesting System market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Energy harvesting for wireless communications in nuclear environments .For safe dry cask storage and reactor operation, it is essential to monitor the conditions inside enclosed metal containers, such as those found in spent fuel canisters and nuclear reactor pressure vessels.
Two energy harvesters, a thermal energy harvester and a gamma radiation energy harvester, are developed to power in-situ nuclear canister interior conditions monitoring and wireless through-wall communication.
A scaled experiment is conducted to evaluate the designs after analysis of their performance during service in the canister utilising radiation and thermal canister modelling.
The energy output of the gamma radiation energy harvester was discovered to be 17.8 mW. After storage, though, its power output drops to less than 1.0 mW. With a predicted power production of 93.9 mW and an experimental output of 46.3 mW even after storage in the canister, the thermal energy harvester proved to be more useful.
