DETECTING SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIALS IN SUSPECT CONTAINERS USING HIGH-ENERGY GAMMA RAYS EMITTED BY FISSION PRODUCTS |
摘要 |
A method and a system for detecting the presence of special nuclear materials in a suspect container. The system and its method include irradiating the suspect container with a beam of neutrons, so as to induce a thermal fission in a portion of the special nuclear materials, detecting the gamma rays that are emitted from the fission products formed by the thermal fission, to produce a detector signal, comparing the detector signal with a threshold value to form a comparison, and detecting the presence of the special nuclear materials using the comparison.
