Imaging the inner structure of a nuclear reactor by cosmic muon radiography [PDF]

Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, 2019
We studied the inner structure of the nuclear reactor of the Japan Atomic Power Company (JAPC) at Tokai, Japan, by the muon radiography. In this study, muon detectors were placed outside of the reactor building. By detecting cosmic muons penetrating through the wall of the reactor building, we could successfully identify the objects such as the ...

Nuclear Waste Management: A Mini Review on Waste Package Characterization Approaches

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The characterization of nuclear wastes is the first step toward their efficient management, as the efficient identification of the chemical, physical, biological, mechanical, and/or radiological properties of these materials is crucial to optimize their management scheme. In particular, the radiological characterization of the nuclear waste packages is

The ScIDEP muon radiography project at the Egyptian Pyramid of Khafre

Journal of Applied Physics
The ScIDEP Collaboration is constructing muon telescopes based on scintillator technology to investigate the internal structure of the Egyptian Pyramid of Khafre at Giza near Cairo using cosmic-ray muons. The collaboration aims to scan the pyramid from multiple viewpoints, both inside the king’s burial chamber that is located centrally at the base of ...

First measurement of ice-bedrock interface of alpine glaciers by cosmic muon radiography [PDF]

, 2017
The shape of the bedrock underneath alpine glaciers bears vital information on the erosional mechanism related to the flow of ice. So far, several geophysical exploration methods have been proposed to map the bedrock topography though with limited ...

Imaging of underground cavities with cosmic-ray muons from observations at Mt. Echia (Naples)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Muography is an imaging technique based on the measurement of absorption profiles for muons as they pass through rocks and earth. Muons are produced in the interactions of high-energy cosmic rays in the Earth’s atmosphere.

ADVANCED APPLICATIONS OF COSMIC-RAY MUON RADIOGRAPHY [PDF]

, 2013
The passage of cosmic-ray muons through matter is dominated by the Coulomb interaction with electrons and atomic nuclei. The muons interaction with electrons leads to continuous energy loss and stopping through the process of ionization.
