Abstract: (IEEE)

A technical demonstration to image a research reactor, Toshiba Nuclear Critical Assembly, with cosmic-ray muons is presented. The demonstration was performed as a precursor to Fukushima Daiichi muon imaging. We have obtained resolution of 3 cm during 1 month of exposure time. This result is in agreement with previous simulation results conducted on Fukushima Daiichi reactors 1 and 2.
