Fuel rod sensor system with inductive coupling

A sensing system, comprising:

• a first component comprising an interrogation system, wherein the interrogation system comprises:
• a first transmitter;
• and
• a first receiver;
• a second component comprising a receiver system, wherein the receiver system comprises:
• a second receiver configured to receive an interrogation signal from the first transmitter;
• a second transmitter configured to transmit a response signal to the first receiver based on the second receiver receiving the interrogation signal;
• an internal component positioned within the second component;
• and
• a core operably coupled to the internal component, wherein a magnitude of the response signal from the second transmitter to the first receiver is based on a state of the core;
• and
• a processor coupled to the first component, wherein the processor is configured to determine a parameter associated with the second component based on the response signal.
