1. A system for moving a nuclear reactor and monitoring one or more parameters of the nuclear reactor, the system comprising:
a crane positioned to releasably engage and move the nuclear reactor; and
a signal receiver coupled to the crane such that the signal receiver moves together with the crane, wherein the signal receiver is further couplable to a sensor carried by a reactor vessel of the nuclear reactor, and wherein the signal receiver is configured to receive signals from the sensor representative of the one or more parameters of the nuclear reactor as the crane moves the nuclear reactor.
