An ideal monitoring technique should provide quantitative information on stored SNF and ensure material integrity without requiring the casks to be opened. However\, conventional non-destructive examination (NDE) methods\, such as X-ray imaging\, are impractical due to the substantial shielding designed to contain radiation within dry storage casks. To overcome this limitation\, cosmic ray muons have been explored as an alternative radiation probe\, utilizing their ability to penetrate the entire dry storage system. This talk will introduce an advanced muon tomography system developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)\, which enhances existing methodologies by addressing limitations such as low muon flux. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, ongoing muon-related research activities at ORNL will be discussed\, including: (1) the deployment of a muon telescope to investigate deep geological repository storage facilities\, such as the Underground Research Laboratory or Yucca Mountain; (2) the development of a cosmic radiation noise cancellation algorithm to improve the detection sensitivity of radiation portal monitors for nuclear security and safeguards; and (3) the development of a quantum error correction algorithm to mitigate radiation-induced decoherence in superconducting qubits\, caused by high-energy muons and gamma rays\, with applications in enhancing the resilience of quantum computing systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: JungHyun Bae\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. JungHyun Bae\, appointed as a Eugene P.
