Nuclear monitoring extends reach through the skies
A six-month pilot project employing satellite feeds to monitor sensitive nuclear materials and check they are not being diverted for non-peaceful use has been launched by the IAEA with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA). The satellite-based network will transfer data from surveillance systems and monitoring equipment on a near-real-time basis from four locations worldwide to the ...

ASTM C993 - 97(2012) Standard Guide for In-Plant Performance Evaluation of Automatic Pedestrian SNM Monitors
SNM monitors are an effective and unobtrusive means to search pedestrians for concealed SNM. Facility security plans use SNM monitors as one means to prevent theft or unauthorized removal of designated quantities of SNM from access areas. Daily testing of the monitors with radioactive sources guarantees only the continuity of alarm circuits. The in-plant evaluation is a way to ...
