Abstract

Transmission computerized tomography (TCT) was used for nondestructive characterization of nuclear waste packages (HLW, ILW). Ready conditioned waste packages may be tested to reveal density fluctuations, cracks, fluids etc. Emission computerized tomography (ECT) combined with TCT gives the activity distribution corrected for density variations within the waste packages.
