Detector and method for inspecting a sealed nuclear storage container
Abstract
A detector and methodology for inspecting a sealed nuclear storage container is described. The detector includes a collimated gamma-ray radiation detector which is moveably borne over the sealed nuclear storage container, and which detects gamma-ray radiation which is emitted by each of a plurality of spent nuclear fuel sources which are enclosed within the sealed nuclear storage container for purposes of detecting the illicit or unauthorized removal of spent nuclear fuel from the nuclear storage container.
