Arms control treaty verification: Neutron radiographic techniques

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5267490

Bilateral and multilateral arms control treaties are placing increasing demands on technical means for on-site verification. Radiation detection and imaging are important, especially when verification involves nuclear warheads. Neutron interrogation techniques are particularly useful in fissile material verification. The role of neutron radiographic imaging must be balanced between acquisition of sufficient information for effective verification and the avoidance of unneeded information that would be overly intrusive. 4 refs.
