Abstract
- We proposed an isotope-selective computed tomography (CT) imaging based on the Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF) transmission method using a quasi-monochromatic laser Compton scattering (LCS) gamma-ray beam in the MeV region for nuclear safety applications. As the first step, a two-dimensional (2D) NRF-CT image of 208Pb isotope distribution was selectively obtained for the sample target containing two enriched lead isotope rods (206Pb and 208Pb). We are planning to perform an experiment to obtain a three-dimensional NRF Computed Tomography (3D NRF-CT) image for the specific isotope. An automatic measurement system has been developed. As the result, we obtained an excellent quality of 3D gamma-ray CT image.
