Temperature measurement is important to a greater or lesser extent in any engineering endeavour. In a power station using steam-turbines to generate electricity, accurate temperature measurement is critical in optimising plant operation. In a nuclear power station measurement of temperature is just as critical, but in irradiated areas the measurement is complicated by the fact that all conventional temperature sensors mis-read substantially when exposed to radiation. It would be a considerable benefit to have a thermometer that could be relied upon to read correctly even after millions of grays of irradiation.
In this article I will describe a Practical Acoustic Thermometer (PAT) which could potentially fulfil this task.
