Title: Tagged Neutron Source for API Inspection Systems with Greatly Enhanced Spatial Resolution

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1056324

We recently developed induced fission and transmission imaging methods with time- and directionally-tagged neutrons offer new capabilities for characterization of fissile material configurations and enhanced detection of special nuclear materials (SNM). An Advanced Associated Particle Imaging (API) generator with higher angular resolution and neutron yield than existing systems is needed to fully exploit these methods.
