A presentation of ISEC’s Nuclear Monitoring System for Radioactive Waste Container handling
The Switzerland KKL (Kernkraftwerk Leibstadt) case

The KKL challenge
• The monitoring of KKL’s radiation waste container handling needed updating/improvement
• Only the filling operation was surveilled by 2 cameras (which were out of order)
• International and national regulations now dictate better control over waste handling operations
- Filling
- Moving/lifting
- Storing
- Scheduled inspection
- Documentation

The ISEC solution
• ISEC responded to KKL’s needs and developed an NMS solution to fullfill this – the NMS/RWC
• 7 ISEC Radcam cameras were installed throughout the waste handling facility
• 3 ISEC MCP clients with control panel and joy-stick (Filling room, filling control room and crane control room)
• 3 monitors for live view monitoring
• Full ISEC system and server for monitoring, camera control and recording system were installed
• The NMS/RWC provides
- Full video monitoring from filling to storage of all radiation waste containers (drums/barrels)
- Excellent monitoring/recording video quality due to Radcam’s high-resolution color camera
- Full pan/tilt, zoom and manual focus/iris control for each camera
- Unimpaired monitoring in the typically dark environments due to Radcam on-board lights
- Easy recording of container inspection images, 360° and top to bottom views of each container
- Container inspection further simplified and secured by ”click and record” functionality
- Easy documentation/archiving of container inspection images via USB
- Easy image comparing function for identifying container degradation/developments

KKL operations – barrel inspection
Process (simplified):
1. Enter the barrel number.
2. The barrel is lifted from
storage room and viewed by camera 7.
3. After lowering the barrel to inspection level,
click in the ”Bottom” window,
and cameras 3-5 automatically position
themselves showing video/still images.
