Neutron Detector

Abstract

Several commands use non-destructive interrogation techniques when searching cargo containers. These techniques expose the container to a 14 MeV neutron generator and analyze the reflected data. These end users require a portable neutron detector capable of accurately measuring the neutrons produced by the interrogation in order to monitor the work area to ensure dose limits are not exceeded. This work may also prove to be a suitable technology that would also enable replacement of the aging AN/PDR-70 Neutron Survey Meter.
