Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
measuring an acceleration of a structure in a load path between a cask and a support frame when the cask is in contact with the support frame;
communicating an interrupt signal to a controller if the measured acceleration exceeds a predetermined threshold value, wherein the interrupt signal causes the controller to transition from a minimal power operating mode at a transition time;
receiving a signal from an RFID reader after the transition from the minimal power operating mode, the signal indicative of an identification code encoded onto an RFID tag fixed to the cask;
receiving a first signal from a load cell disposed in a load path between the cask and the support frame after a predetermined settling time has elapsed after the transition time, the first signal indicative of an initial weight associated with at least a portion of the cask; and
receiving a second signal from the load cell after the first signal, the second signal indicative of a current weight associated with at least a portion of the cask.
