Abstract
ARG-US Remote Area Modular Monitoring (RAMM) is an expandable, adaptable system for monitoring critical nuclear and radiological facilities, such as the independent spent fuel storage installations for dry casks, nuclear power plants, fuel production and reprocessing facilities, and facilities handling sensitive radioisotopes. ARG-US RAMM is being developed at Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Packaging Certification Program, Office of Packaging and Transportation, Office of Environmental Management (EM).
