Nuclear techniques in homeland security
Description
Selected methods for border monitoring, utilizing nuclear techniques are discussed, with a particular emphasis on those developed with the contribution of our Institute. It covers a basic inspection of the borders against smuggling of radioactive materials, as well as known systems using linear accelerators of electrons for inspection of large trucks by X-ray radiography. More advanced active methods based on tagged neutron inspection systems to monitor explosives and methods based on photofission to detect fissile materials are presented, too. (author)
