title = "Feasibility of acoustic methods for impurity gas monitoring in dry storage systems",
abstract = "This paper considers the feasibility of monitoring impurities in dry storage containers (DSCs) for spent nuclear fuel using non-invasive acoustic sensing. The conceived implementation considers periodic measurements and estimation of gas impurity concentrations based on relative changes in acoustic velocity from successive measurements without compensating for temperature. Bounding contributions to uncertainty from the measurement system and temperature variability are estimated. Sources of temperature variability considered include changes in the decay heat generation rate over time and ambient temperature variation. The results are used to estimate the sensitivity to Xe, H2O, and air impurities.",
