Abstract

Distributed optical fiber sensors have been considered to be one of the best candidates for the performance monitoring of a nuclear waste facility because of its unique advantages, for example, small, lightweight, and long lifetime. In such monitoring, an exposure to seawater, alkaline, and radiation might be an issue for survival of sensors, thus, the article presents that durability test on optical fiber is experimentally investigated to evaluate its properties as a sensing medium.
