Abstract :
This discourse is a summary description of the reasons, requirements, and methodology for monitoring the integrity of nuclear waste storage facilities. Various types of nuclear wastes and the radiation emitted by them are defined. Descriptions of commonly used storage facilities are given. Instrumentation available or under development for making these measurements is described with particular emphasis on in-situ techniques.
