概要

Cosmic-ray muon is high energy leptons generated in the earth’s atmospheres as results of cosmic-ray proton/electron bombardment. Muon scattering method has been developed for nuclear security applications using its highly penetrative feature and sensitivity for high Z-materials. This study introduced the measurement of small nuclear reactor which consists of UO2 fuels and simulation study of container scanning system by muon scattering method. These results showed effectiveness of muon scattering method to identify nuclear materials such as uranium and plutonium even when the nuclear materials are covered by thick concrete or steel shielding.
