Fienning, W C; McKnight, R P

The development of the Integrated Monitoring System, which monitors the shipment of spent fuel from light water reactors to reactor or away-from-reactor storage sites, is described. The system uses a crane location monitor and gamma radiation detectors to determine the arrival or departure of spent fuel loaded in shipping casks. The system records the information in a tamper-detecting, tamper-resistant enclosure for later inspection and triggers a camera for photographic assessment of anomalies.
