Goal-oriented flexible sensing for higher diagnostic performance of nuclear plant instrumentation

A framework of goal-oriented sensing has been proposed with the emphasis on the integration of an inference mechanism with an active sensing module, which is equipped with a driving mechanism and a set of sensors. The validity of the dynamic failure identification based on the proposed framework of goal-oriented sensing has been examined under realistic experimental conditions using a small-scale test loop. Though the loops are small in scale, the validity of introducing mobile sensing mechanism has been successfully shown through the experiments emulating realistic failure conditions.
