Cosmic ray radiography of a human phantom
Christopher Morris, John Perry, F. E. Merrill
Cosmic ray muons, that reach the earth's surface, provide a natural source of radiation that is used for radiography. In this paper, we show that radiography using cosmic radiation…
Verifying Spent Fuel Containers Before Deep Geological Storage with Cosmic Ray Muons
D. Poulson, J. M. Durham, J. D. Bacon +2
International nuclear safeguards inspectors do not have a method to verify the contents of sealed storage casks containing spent reactor fuel. The heavy shielding that is used to l…
3D Cosmic Ray Muon Tomography from an Underground Tunnel
Elena Guardincerri, Charlotte Rowe, Emily Schultz-Fellenz +10
We present an underground cosmic ray muon tomographic experiment imaging 3D density of overburden, part of a joint study with differential gravity. Muon data were acquired at four…
Verification of spent nuclear fuel in sealed dry storage casks via measurements of cosmic ray muon scattering
J. M. Durham, D. Poulson, J. Bacon +7
Most of the plutonium in the world resides inside spent nuclear reactor fuel rods. This high-level radioactive waste is commonly held in long-term storage within large, heavily shi…
Cosmic ray muon computed tomography of spent nuclear fuel in dry storage casks
D. Poulson, J. M. Durham, E. Guardincerri +5
Radiography with cosmic ray muon scattering has proven to be a successful method of imaging nuclear material through heavy shielding. Of particular interest is monitoring dry stora…
Imaging the inside of thick structures using cosmic rays
E. Guardincerri, J. M. Durham, C. Morris +8
The authors present here a new method to image reinforcement elements inside thick structures and the results of a demonstration measurement performed on a mock-up wall built at Lo…
