Description

A new system for the on-line monitoring of short and medium term radioactive waste repositories, has been designed. It is distributed, fine-grained, robust and reliable. It employs a new family of cheap and powerful microsensors, to be placed in shape of a fine grid around each waste drum. An efficient data transmission network guarantees the monitoring of the drums, even during their displacement.
