Abstract
As a result of an arms reduction treaty between the United States and the Russian Federation, both countries will each be storing over 40,000 containers of plutonium. To help detect any deterioration of the containers and prevent leakage, we are designing a digital radiography and computed tomography system capable of handling this volume reliably, efficiently, and at a lower cost.
