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
or 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?
