The Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC) designed an Advanced Containment and Surveillance System (A C/S) for its Plutonium Fuel Production facility at Tokai-Mura, Japan. PNC entered into an agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to have Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) develop options for authenticating the information provided by the A C/S System, as well as to develop PNC-selected hardware for demonstration purposes. The equipment was installed in the early summer of 1989, and has undergone performance evaluation since that time. The key technologies being evaluated include authentication item monitoring, video and digital signal authentication, and event data logging, plus the system integration of these components. A review of the performance of this equipment will be highlighted. 3 refs., 4 figs.
