TOMOGRAPHY OF CANISTERS FOR SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL [PDF]
Proceedings of International Workshop on Fast Neutron Detectors and Applications — PoS(FNDA2006), 2007 Sweden and Finland are preparing for final deposition of spent nuclear power fuel. The adopted method is to encapsulate spent nuclear fuel in copper canisters filled with iron before deposition in a deep bedrock repository. The canisters will have a diameter of about one metre, which makes examination of the content in sealed canisters virtually ...
