Multiple-Angle Muon Radiography of a Dry Storage Cask
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
A partially loaded dry storage cask was imaged using cosmic ray muons. Since the cask is large relative to the size of the muon tracking detectors, the instruments were placed at nine different positions around the cask to record data covering the entire fuel basket. We show that this technique can detect the removal of a single fuel assembly from the center of the cask.
