On the multipurpose use of a portable neutron source
The possibility of creating a multipurpose complex for generating a reference field of thermal neutrons based on a portable neutron source (PNS) is considered. It has been shown that our method can be used to detect fissile materials without determining their isotopic composition during an inspectio...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The possibility of creating a multipurpose complex for generating a reference field of thermal neutrons based on a portable neutron source (PNS) is considered. It has been shown that our method can be used to detect fissile materials without determining their isotopic composition during an inspection of the hand luggage of passengers, mail,etc. The PNS multipurpose complex will allow to indirectly indicating the possible presence of chemical explosives in the test samples, as well as cadmium and boron, which possibly hide fissile elements from detection. The paper gives recommendations on the use of the most effective instruments and equipment. |
