Abstract
The maximum likelihood tomographic method is used to reconstruct the radioactive fission products distribution in irradiated fuel pins from a very small number of projections. The method can be used to analyse the behaviour of the nuclear fuel during irradiation and also to obtain an improvement in burn-up estimation. An experimental result, for a CANDU type fuel pin, is reported. A criterion for optimally stopping the iterative algorithm is suggested.
