Muon imaging of transport and storage casks

Understanding the state of the inventory of transport and storage casks is a key concern for the safety and operation of interim storage facilities - and subsequently - for final repository transport and relocation. This paper focuses on image reconstruction algorithms and developing further approaches to achieve images of higher resolution. With the objective to apply a muon imaging system to an interim storage cask, these new algorithms are necessary to obtain information and reconstructed images not only from simulated data, but also experimental data. Presented here by the BMUV-funded project RIMANUS is a new image reconstruction algorithm using muon scattering.
