The objective of IAEA safeguards is the timely detection of diversion of significant quantities of nuclear material from peaceful activities to the manufacture of nuclear explosive devices or for purposes unknown, and deterrence of such diversion by risk of early detection. Techniques utilized to provide this detection capability include material accountancy, containment, and surveillance. Sandia Laboratories has developed a number of unattended, tamper indicating instruments that can be used as part of a containment and surveillance system. Three such devices are: a secure surveillance camera, an irradiated fuel bundle counter, and a self-monitoring seal.
