Abstract: Abstract. Nuclear power provides a significant portion of our current energy demand and is likely to become more wide spread with growing world population. However, the radioactive waste generated in these power plants must be stored for around 60 years in underwater storage pools before permanent disposal. These underwater storage environments must be carefully monitored and controlled to avoid an environmental catastrophe. In this paper, we present an underwater mobile sensor network that is being developed … Show more

“…Introduction Despite the presence of wireless connectivity in most terrestrial scenarios, there are still many hostile and complex environments that cannot be covered by existing wireless communication techniques, including underground, underwater, oil reservoirs, groundwater aquifers, nuclear plants, pipelines, tunnels, and concrete buildings. Wireless networks in such environments can enable important applications in environmental, industrial, homeland security, and military fields, such as monitoring and maintenance of groundwater and/or oil reservoirs [1], or damage assessment and mitigation in nuclear plants [2], among others. However, the harsh wireless channels prevent the direct usage of conventional electromagnetic (EM) wave-based techniques due to the high material absorption when penetrating lossy media.…”

“…Hence it shares the same theoretical foundation as point-to-point MI. Therefore, we first developed the path loss model for point-to-point M 2 I, which can be easily extended to M 2 I waveguide. The discussion on the optimal metamaterial shell configuration is also universal for both settings.…”

“…Activities such as oceanographic data collection, offshore exploration, and ocean ecosystem monitoring are facilitated by the deployment of Unmanned or Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (UUVs, AUVs), equipped with underwater sensors, e.g., see Kennedy et al [5]. There is a growing demand for UUVs/AUVs that cooperate to perform monitoring tasks; e.g., a fleet of small, inexpensive underwater AUVs for monitoring underwater waste sites was suggested by Nawaz et al [15]. To cooperate effectively, the nodes must be able to exchange data and control messages with one other.…”
