why monitoring? why new tools?

nuclear material lasting hundreds of thousands years  geological repository

but... predisposal & preclosure?

handling, transportation, interim, legacy waste...  inspecting? monitoring?

conventional methods new technologies?

need to prevent, detect and respond to theft, sabotage, unauthorized access and illegal transfer

  • r other malicious acts

To have a complete and detailed record of the history of each cask What would be the goal?

individual and continuous online monitoring of casks

to improve safety, security, transparency why monitoring?
