Abstract
The ReflectoActive™ Seal System developed at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant for continuous (active) seal monitoring on drum stored materials, has recently been granted a two year inventory extension for an installation involving modular storage vaults. The use of this system for this particular application represents a novel implementation of the ReflectoActive™ Seal technology; that demonstrates both flexibility and the versatility of the technology. Examples and details of this installation will be presented, along with performance results, and potential other uses of the technology.
