Abstract
An apparatus and method for the detection of fissionable materials (e.g. uranium and plutonium) in cargo, vehicles, soil, waste, etc. utilizing a penetrating photon beam causing emission of neutrons from such materials. The neutrons are detected by selected detectors able to function throughout an appropriate test and emission period. Suitable detectors are of the super-heated droplet type. The photon energy, beam intensity and direction, number of beams, emission period and detector arrangement are chosen to give the desired sensitivity for the fissionable elements of concern.
