Micro CT Images of Sellafield Borehole 13B
These images were acquired using micro computed tomographic imaging of 7 sandstone plugs taken at various depths in the Sellafield borehole 13B. SF696 (63.8 m), SF697 (76.1 m), SF698 (96.98 m), SF699 (126.27 m), SF700 (144.03 m), SF701 (172.16 m) and SF702 (181.39 m). These samples are further detailed and analysed in the following article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1144/petgeo2020-092

Data Quality
Four core plugs (ca. 85 mm in length and 25 mm in diameter) were collected from the core material collected from borehole GGC01. Mini plugs were cut from these to a size of 10 mm in length and 5 mm in diameter. Each sample was then scanned at the London Natural History Museum Imaging and Analysis Centre using a Zeiss Xradia Versa 520 micro CT scanner. Polychromatic X-rays were used with an energy of 80 kV with a 5 second exposure window. Reconstruction of the data was performed using the Zeiss Reconstructor Sour-and-Scan software. This includes use of a filtered back projection algorithm with beam hardening correction.
