Radiation-Resistant Wi-Fi Chip

Catalogs:


Overview
A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi receiver can survive radiation levels found inside nuclear reactors. With a radiation tolerance of up to 500 kGy, the chip allows robots used in nuclear plant decommissioning to be controlled wirelessly. Such receivers reduce the need for wired connections and can improve worker protection during decommissioning and cleanup operations at contaminated sites such as the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
