ARG-US Remote Monitoring Systems: Use Cases and Applications in Nuclear Facilities and During Transportation
As highlighted in the Spring 2024 issue of Radwaste Solutions, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are developing and deploying ARG-US—meaning “Watchful Guardian”—remote monitoring systems technologies to enhance the safety, security, and safeguards (3S) of packages of nuclear and other radioactive material during storage, transportation, and disposal.

Where are we headed as an industry to ensure that plants are resilient to changing climate conditions and the increasing number of climate events impacting operations? This session will discuss climate resiliency topics including: where INPO is with development of their climate resiliency principles document, tools that EPRI has developed for utilities to begin assessing climate vulnerabilities, and approaches taken by utility and next steps to address vulnerabilities. Additionally, TVA will present a recent example of plant operation impacts due to eelgrass ingress caused by changing environmental conditions. Participants: TVA, [EPRI], [INPO], [Xcel]
