Background Every year thousands of tons of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) are transported in 48Y and 30B cylinders containing a 10-character, cross Industry recognizable alphanumeric unique identification number, with barcodes that can be machine verified, thus making these cylinders traciable and verifiable at all times. Use of DLT The UID would be scanned at each point in the supply chain and would add a block in the distributed ledger system. This process of scanning and recording would continue as the cylinder is transported from conversion to enrichment to fuel fabrication plants. The barcode would contain important identifying information about the drum, along with other logistical information, would be uploaded to the distributed ledger and would be cryptographically chained together in blocks. Using DLT, each transaction, such as the transfers of cylinders and inventories, would be transparent on the entire ledger, providing a means to a reliable monitoring of the movement of the UF6 cylinder across the value chain.
