Title: James P. Herzog and Nuclear Fuel-Rod Monitoring
Introduction
James P. Herzog is an inventor associated with Downers Grove, Illinois. His work includes a patent for a system designed to identify failed nuclear fuel rods by analyzing escaped tag gas. The available information also lists The University of Chicago and GE Intelligent Platforms Inc. among the organizations he worked with.
Latest Patents
Herzog is credited with 1 patent: “Neural Net Controlled Tag Gas Sampling System for Nuclear Reactors.” The invention describes placing a unique tag-gas composition in a nuclear fuel rod’s plenum and monitoring gamma-ray activity to detect possible fuel-rod failure. When the system senses tag-gas emissions, it activates sampling and analysis equipment to evaluate the escaped gas and identify the particular failed rod.
Career Highlights
The patent addresses the challenge of locating a failed nuclear fuel rod within a reactor. Its approach combines gamma-ray monitoring with automated tag-gas sampling and analysis, helping distinguish the source of an emission.
Collaborations
Herzog’s listed coworkers include John D. Lambert and Kenneth C. Gross. His professional affiliations include The University of Chicago and GE Intelligent Platforms Inc.
Conclusion
James P. Herzog’s patented system applies tag-gas identification and automated analysis to help locate failed nuclear fuel rods, reflecting his contribution to nuclear reactor monitoring technology.
