A contact detection apparatus includes a bumper beam, an absorber, a contact detection sensor, a tube holder, a cover, and first and second protrusions. A pressure tube is held in a groove of the tube holder. The cover is attached to a front end of the tube holder. A pressing member of the cover is disposed inside an opening groove of the groove and in front of the pressure tube. The pressure tube includes first and second protrusions on its outer periphery. The first protrusion projects in a frontward direction, faces the pressing member in frontward and backward directions, and has a pair of upper and lower surfaces inclining in respective directions to come closer to each other as the upper and lower surfaces extend in the frontward direction as seen in a vehicle width direction. The second protrusion is disposed above the first protrusion in an upward direction.

A pressure gauge includes a first fastener, a second fastener, a rotation member, and a positioning module. The first fastener includes a guide portion having a first spiral section and a second spiral section. The second fastener is mounted on the bottom of the first fastener. The rotation member has a shaft provided with a protruding rib and a pointer. The positioning module includes a positioning block having an air hole, and a elastic member having a first end mounted on the air hole and a second end abutting the rotation member. The air hole introduces an air pressure into the elastic member that is expanded and pushes the shaft upward so that the protruding rib and the pointer are rotated and moved upward along the first spiral section and the second spiral section, to precisely indicate visible air pressure values.

A detection apparatus includes a resonant electrical circuit supported within an interior of a nuclear fuel rod generates a response pulse in response to an excitation pulse and transmits the response pulse through a cladding of the fuel rod to another location within a reactor in which the fuel rod is housed and without any breach in the cladding. A characteristic of the response pulse is indicative of a condition of the fuel rod. The detection apparatus also includes a transmitter positioned outside the cladding, in the reactor, in the vicinity of the fuel rod and configured to generate the excitation pulse and transmit the excitation pulse through the cladding to the resonant electrical circuit. A receiver is supported within the reactor outside of the cladding and, in response to the response pulse, communicates a signal to an electronic processing apparatus outside of the reactor.
