An image reconstruction technique was developed to overcome problems with earlier methods of gamma emission computed tomography of graphite rings surrounding the AGR-3/4 TRISO fission product transport experiment. The profiles obtained from the tomography are compared with sampling done via radially resolved destructive sampling techniques. Generally, there is good agreement between profiles measured via destructive sampling of the rings and the tomographic profiles, though at low signal strengths, the tomographic profiles appear elevated.
