Pressure Sensors Monitoring Nuclear Power

Pressure sensors can monitor pressure inside the containment vessels of nuclear reactors. This can ensure safe operation of the reactor by providing early warning of any leaks that could lead to a release of radioactive materials. Additionally, pressure sensors can monitor the pressure inside the coolant system of the reactor, which is critical for maintaining proper functioning of the reactor.
