Claim 16:
17. A Cask Identification and Evaporation Monitoring (CIEM) system comprising:
one or more CIEM subsystems, each of the one or more CIEM subsystems comprising:
a load cell disposed in a load path between a cask and a support frame;
a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader disposed in close proximity to the cask; and

a first non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive a signal from the load cell indicative of a current weight associated with at least a portion of the cask;
receive a signal from the RFID reader, the signal indicative of an identification code encoded onto an RFID tag fixed to the cask; and

a second non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive the signal indicative of the current weight associated with at least a portion of the cask;
receive the signal indicative of the identification code;
determine a first cumulative amount of weight loss from the cask based on a difference between the current weight and a weight of the cask measured by the load cell at an earlier instance; and
determine a location of the cask in a storage facility based on the identification code.
