Abstract
Tomographic Gamma Scanning (TGS) is a technique used to assay the nuclide distribution and radioactivity in nuclear waste drums. Limited to few transmission measurements, the drum is divided into large voxels and thus leads to the inhomogeneity of the voxels and negatively affects the results. A new algorithm is presented to reconstruct finer voxel grid transmission images with the same number of measurements. The small voxel size decreases the effect of the inhomogeneity and makes the result more accurate. The algorithm employs total variation minimization and precisely describes the attenuation process. The influences of the different scan modes are discussed with Monte Carlo simulations. Experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of our method.
