In-Tank Inspections of Buried and Sub-Surface HLW Tanks

Abstract

In-tank and in-vault camera inspections are a useful method of inspecting tanks containing radioactive wastes. This paper discusses camera inspections conducted on historic radioactive waste tanks in 2003. It describes the equipment used for the inspections, how they were conducted, the observations that were made, and how the information will be used to assist in the planning of waste retrieval operations.
