title = "Operational considerations when using active seal technologies",
abstract = "The use of active seal technology has been gaining popularity in both domestic and international safeguards. As the superpower countries downsize and begin to disassemble some of the nuclear weaponry in their arsenals, the materials used in these systems are typically stored and monitored. The monitoring of responsibilities associated with this growing inventory of materials is currently burdening many downsized staffs of trained inspection personnel. The affordability and sometimes the need for doing these routine inspections are being questioned by site management. All of these circumstances are forcing both domestic and international sites to look at modernized material control & accountability (MC&A) systems and methodologies. Active seal technology is one of these modernized approaches, but several operational issues must be considered when this type of technology is deployed. This paper will discuss some of these issues and identify approaches sites may want to consider as they look for ways to modernize their safeguard systems.",
