abstract = {Spent fuel stored in thick-walled strongly shielding casks
can be indirectly verified through the application
ofcontainment and surveillance measures. Assuring Continuity
of Knowledge (CoK) of the spent fuel stored in dry spent
fuelstorage facilities (SFSFs) for the upcoming decades is a
cornerstone of safeguards. In the unlikely event that all
Safeguardsrelatedcontainment and surveillance measures fail,
a cask would need to be opened in the loading pond of a
reactor. Therefore,substantially improved re-verification
capabilities applicable to dry SFSFs are to be aimed at. The
development of an adequatenon-destructive (re)-verification
method for casks, proving the unchanged inventory of the
verified spent fuel, would be a realadvantage for
safeguards.Muon tomography could be a suitable method for
the re-verification of self-shielding thick-walled spent
fuel casks.To prove that the technology can detect the
diversion of fuel assemblies, a two-modules muon detector
has been designed andbuilt. It will be installed in the
proximity of a spent fuel cask during a field test at a dry
SFSF in Germany. The status of theproject and preliminary
results will be presented.},
