Time Domain Reflectrometry (TDR) system measuring moisture content is combined with a fiber-optic probe for measuring pore pressure near the tip of a cone penetrometer (CPT)
(TechID 141)

Waste Inspection Tomography (WIT) images a steel pipe overpack in a 55-gal. drum from RFETS. The pipe contains three “coffee” cans; one is empty, one contains plastic bags, and one contains three aluminum plates. Because of the thick walled steel pipe, RTR would have imaging difficulties with this drum.

(TechID 1564)

In order to map the magnetic field of a site, the RGS uses an array of magnetometers integrated with a positioning system. The magnetic data and position are captured by a data logger in the field, then the size and depth of magnetic objects is mapped.
(TechID 1995)

Portable laser-induced fluorescence imaging (LIFI) for real-time uranium detection
(TechID 1999)

Fiber-optic Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) on-line, real-time monitor for measures the concentrations of americium and curium in a molten glass stream produced by the vitrification of tank waste at the Savannah River Site (SRS). The tripod-mounted light-collection head of the monitor (lower right) is aimed up at the beginning of the glowing molten-glass stream that is pouring from the Cylindrical Induction Melter into a pail of water.
