Short summary
Muon radiography is a technique that harnesses naturally occurring cosmic radiation to non-invasively image an object of interest. Most famously used to search for hidden chambers oin pyramids, the technique has many similarities to that of medical X-ray and can return detailed density maps of the object of interest. We propose the application of muon radiography to multiple aspects of the long-term monitoring and disposal of nuclear waste.
