Muon Tomography Applied to a Dense Uranium Deposit at the McArthur River Mine

This article in The Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, published by The American Geophysical Union (AGU), reports on the application of muon tomography for imaging dense uranium deposits within the Athabasca Basin in Canada, including a qualitative assessment of the radiographic imaging and 3-D density inversion of a uranium deposit using muon tomography. The authors, including Ideon team members, demonstrate the validity of muon tomographic imaging with data acquired at a depth of about 600 m underground.
