About this technology
Overview
Bio-Imaging Research, Inc., has been included in Spinoff 1990 and 1993 with spinoffs from their ACTIS+ product developed under a Marshall Space Flight Center SBIR contract. The latest application is for noninvasive nuclear waste drum inspection. With the ACTIS CT scanner, radioactive waste is examined to prove that they do not contain one-half percent free liquid or that the drum wall has lost integrity before being moved across state lines or before being permanently disposed.
