Update on Monitoring Technologies for International Safeguards and Fissile Material Verification

Monitoring technologies are playing an increasingly important part in international safeguards and fissile material verification. The developments reduce the time an inspector must spend at a site while assuring continuity of knowledge. Monitoring technologies’ continued development has produced new seal systems and integrated video surveillance advances under consideration for Trilateral Initiative use. This paper will present recent developments for monitoring systems at Embalse, Argentina; VNIIEF, Sarov, Russia; and Savannah River Site, Aiken, South Carolina.
