24-NF-04357 MAGNETIC SIGNATURE SURVEILANCE OF NUCLEAR FUEL ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Typical nuclear fuel material contains tramp ferromagnetic particles of random size and distribution. Also, selected amounts of paramagnetic or ferromagnetic material can be added at random or at known positions in the fuel material. The fuel material in its non- magnetic container can be scanned by magnetic susceptibility change detecting apparatus to provide a unique signal waveform of the container of fuel material as a signature thereof. At subsequent times in its life, the container similarly can be scanned to provide subsequent signatures. Comparison of the signature reveals any alteration or tampering with the fuel material.
