Abstract
Throughout the world, advanced monitoring systems are needed to help control stored nuclear material. These monitoring systems should be capable of supporting a variety of sensors and video equipment and operating in a multitude of configurations and modes. The Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Material Monitoring System (MMS) fulfills these requirements and more.The SNL MMS can store and deliver sensor information from storage sites to users, which enables personnel to have a continuity of knowledge over the nuclear material. In addition, the SNL MMS supports various sensor types (e.g., RF and hardwire sensors) and video systems (e.g., still-frame video).This poster session will provide a demonstration of the latest version of MMS. Interfaces to the SNL T-1 Electronic Sensor Platform, an Echelon Lonworks sensor network, and a Neumann DCM-14 will be monitored in the demonstration.
