Abstract
The potential of space-borne earth observation techniques to monitor
possible undeclared activities on a nuclear waste repository site was
surveyed. The highest potential of earth observation is in the detection of
undeclared construction of buildings and roads as well as detection of
undeclared quarrying. Real-time applications such as continuous traffic
monitoring are not feasible in earth observation applications that require
high spatial accuracy. The monitoring system consists of baseline data
acquisition that should be donebefore excavation activities start, of routine
monitoring, and of an optional alarm survey. Space-borne synthetic aperture
radar (SAR) is suggested as the principal instrument tocollect the monitoring
data because of its all-weather capability.
