In October and November 2012 the INL Compton Dry-Cask Imaging Scanner (CDCIS) was packaged and transported to the Doel Nuclear Power Plant near Antwerp, Belgium to perform a series of measurements on spent fuel storage casks. The task was performed in support of the DOE/NNSA NA-241 IAEA request 09/TAU-10 Restoration of CoK of LWR Fuel Assemblies by Gamma Scanning from the Top of Casks. The purpose of the measurements was to determine whether the system could by passive detection of the gamma rays being emitted by the contained spent fuel, confirm the presence or absence of the nuclear fuel bundles in a known, verified dry storage cask. If successful, the system, would be used to confirm the presence of the nuclear fuel bundles on four casks in storage that had lost continuity of knowledge due to problems verifying the status of the casks’ Tamper Indicating Device (TID) seals.
