VACOSS/MIVS interface system - Field trial configuration
The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) VACOSS Electronic Seal and the US Modular Integrated Video System (MIVS) have been successfully interfaced and demonstrated to several FRG facility operators and the IAEA and EURATORM Safeguards authorities. In the very near future, this system, which is intended to reduce inspection effort while maintaining existing safeguards assurances, will undergo field evaluation. This system provides an example of a way in which Containment and Surveillance (C/S) can achieve an increased importance in the attainment of effective International Safeguards. This paper describes the VACOSS Video Interface System and how it may be used by inspectors and facility operators as part of the safeguard program for nuclear material transport.
