Getting to the Core of Fukushima

Study in AIP Advances Describes How Muon Imaging May Allow Experts to Assess Damage Inside Fukushima Daiichi Reactors
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Critical to the recovery efforts following the devastating effects of the 2011 tsunami on Japan's Fukushima reactor is the ability to assess damage within the reactor's core. A study in the journal AIP Advances by a team of scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) shows that muon imaging may offer the best hope of assessing damage to the reactor cores and locating the melted fuel.
