Neutron Radiation Identifier and Dosimeter- NRID
Abstract
The main objectives of the work herein was to develop a full-scale, commercially transitionable, portable neutron spectrometer. A Phase I demonstrated a proof-of-principle portable neutron spectrometer prototype. A Phase II added new capabilities to, expand some existing capabilities on, and increase the technology readiness of the proof-of-principle prototype solid state neutron spectrometer previously built by the proposing team: RDT and UMKC. Phase II sequential work was development and commercialization of an advanced portable neutroradiation identifier, imager, and human dose equivalent measurement device. The Neutron Radiation Identifier and Dosimeter (NRID) is a small, portable, cost effective, military-grade, neutron detection instrument for identification, localization, differentiation, and human dose equivalent measurement. The device is designed to detect neutron source emission spectrum to positively identify the source, e.g., Cf-252, AmLi, and AmBe sources.
