DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1484364· OSTI ID:1484364

The concept for this system is a Nuclear Materials Identification System (NMIS) time-dependent coincidence system that incorporates transmission tomographic imaging and gamma ray spectrometry and utilizes a small, lightweight (30 lbs), portable DT neutron (14.1 MeV) generator (5 x 107 neutrons/second), proton recoil scintillation detectors, a gamma ray detector (HPGe) with multichannel analyzer, and a fast (1GHz) time correlation processor.
