Abstract

See full text

Various embodiments enable wireless monitoring of a radioactive environment and related operating conditions. Structures of increasing complexity and formed at least in part from a semiconductor material based on crystalline actinide oxide-based material enable monitoring at least one operating conditions of the radioactive environment. An exemplary embodiment is a device comprising one or more crystal oscillator units that can generate a first oscillating signal, and an actinide oxide-based unit functionally coupled to at least one of the one or more crystal oscillator units, and configured to receive the first oscillating signal. The actinide oxide-based unit can supply a second oscillating signal to an antenna that delivers the second oscillating signal wirelessly, wherein the second oscillating signal is based on the first oscillating signal and is indicative of an operating condition of the radioactive environment. The antenna is part of the radioactive environment.
