The desire to reduce inspection hours and travel associated with attended Safeguards inspections has encouraged the use of unattended and remote monitoring systems. The designers of remote and unattended safeguards systems, especially over the past year, have begun to increasingly use techniques and technology present in web-enabled applications.
