Title: Oleg Borisovich Sapunkov: Inventor in Nuclear Piping Assay
Introduction
Oleg Borisovich Sapunkov is an inventor associated with Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His patent work addresses passive, non-destructive measurement of radioactive deposits inside nuclear piping.
Latest Patents
Sapunkov is associated with 1 patent: “System and Method for Passive Assay of Holdup Deposits in Nuclear Piping.” The invention describes an in-pipe radiation detector centered between two coaxial shielding discs. The discs limit the detector’s field of regard to a known cylindrical section of pipe, helping distinguish radiation from deposits in that section from radiation originating elsewhere along the pipe. An autonomous mobile robot moves the detector assembly through the piping, while software controls the robot, records measurements, and processes the data to assay the deposits.
Career Highlights
The patent combines radiation detection, shielding, robotics, and data processing to support non-destructive assessment of holdup deposits. Its approach is designed to produce measurements tied to specific lengths of pipe without requiring destructive inspection.
Collaborations
The patent’s listed collaborators include William L. Whittaker and Siri Katrina Maley. Sapunkov’s work is associated with Carnegie Mellon University.
Conclusion
Oleg Borisovich Sapunkov’s patent brings together in-pipe sensing and autonomous robotics to enable localized, non-destructive assay of deposits in nuclear piping.
