Abstract
The accidental melting of radioactive sources hidden inside metal scrap containers can produce severe environmental harm. The muon tomography is a technique that allows to discriminate high-Z materials through cosmic-ray muons multiple scattering inside matter. A European project to exploit this technique to detect the presence of shielded radioactive sources was approved in 2010. In this paper some details of the project are presented, highlighting the scientific and technological aspects.
