Perspectives on sensor based containment and surveillance technologies : gaps and trends
To maintain effective containment surveillance (CS) system capabilities, the requirements for such systems must continue to evolve outpacing diversion capabilities, reduce costs, and meet the needs of the looming nuclear renaissance. What are the future sensor-based capabilities that must be available to support growing CS requirements and what are the technologies needed to provide the underlying capabilities? This presentation is intended to discuss the present gaps in sensor-based containment and surveillance relevant technologies, and future development trends which may address these gaps. Consumer driven technology development will represent a component rich source of technologies and devices that can find application in containment and surveillance tools helping to minimize the technology gaps. Recognizing and utilizing these sources is paramount to cost effective solutions. Where these gaps cannot be addressed by consumer based development, custom, CS specific approaches are the only solution.
