In the context of the on-line monitoring of short and medium term for radioactive waste repository, a new system has been planned. Such system makes use a new kind of detector, named Silicon Photomultiplier, coupled to scintillating fibres to be positioned around each waste drum in shape of fine grid. The purpose of this design is evaluate the variations of the radioactivity distribution by counting the gamma radiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
