Abstract
In international nuclear materials safeguards a need for advanced containment/surveillance equipment is anticipated which uses electronic sealing and closed circuit television in a coupled system approach. The paper describes a microprocessor interface for a seal/TV surveillance system, which is being developed within the framework of the bilateral exchange program between the U.S.A. and the Federal Republic of Germany. In its basic form, this interface would provide recorded video data of the application and/or removal of the electronic seal, together with annotated video frames containing pertinent seal data. Possible applications are discussed.
