In the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident, the measurements of water level in pressure vessel and spent fuel pool were impossible due to station blackout, and it resulted in difficulty for countermeasures against the accidents and for understanding of the situations of reactor core after accidents. Therefore, we started to develop a new water level sensor for l with high reliability, which works with small electric power. This report describes reviews of conventional water level sensor and design and production of new water level sensor. After production of the sensor, performance tests were performed between room temperature and about 95 $$^{circ}$$C, and the it was confirmed that the sensor is able to measure water level with the accuracy of $$pm$$ 20 mm. As the results, a perspective to use the new water level sensor as water level indicator for spent fuel pools and reactor vessels after severe accident.
