Abstract(s) :
(Anglais) From electricity production to medical processes, nuclear applications are numerous and useful.
But they also are hazardous for both the environment and human beings, which means that they must be monitored.
A solution to perform remote monitoring of nuclear environments consist in using wireless sensor networks.
Still, a remaining issue is the battery replacement, which requires human intervention.
To overcome this situation, energy harvesting can be implemented to power the nodes of the sensor networks.
In this presentation, energy harvesting methods are reviewed and their application to nuclear environments monitoring is analyzed.
