. High-level radioactive waste must be stored safely for a very long time but asuitable site for long-term storage is yet to be found. Additionally, inGermany the licence for transport and storage of casks is limited to 40 years,beginning at the time of emplacement and begins to expire for the firstcontainers in the 2030s. To resolve the conflict between not having a finalrepository in time and the licence expiring, the licence must be extendedwhile ensuring uninterrupted safe storage and safe transport. The DCS-MonitorII research project supports this process by investigating approaches tononinvasive, radiation field-based diagnostics that enable the observation ofpotential geometric changes of the cask inventory. Previous feasibilitystudies in the predecessor project DCS-Monitor I showed that cask monitoringusing gamma radiation, neutron fields and cosmic muons is promising. In theongoing research project presented here, the investigations on thequalification of radiation field-based diagnostics are extended viasimulations. For muon imaging, a suitable procedure which solves the inverseproblem to monitor the cask inventory is implemented. In addition, a partiallyautomated gamma and neutron measurement system is being constructed and a muondetector is being developed and built. Both systems will be tested in fieldstudies on large scale geometries and real containers.
