Development of design of a radioisotope switchable neutron source and new portable detector of smuggling
Description
Development of simple and cheap radioisotope switchable neutron source for application in the portable device of detecting of smuggling is presented. Detailed calculations (Monte-Carlo modeling) for the purpose of optimization of a design of the source and the detector module are carried out. The sufficient an yield of neutrons, about 2 o 105 n/s provides the source with the sizes of approx 25 x 25 x 60 mm3. Results of simulation of scanning smuggling areas (polyethylene 10 x 10 x 5 cm3) behind the thick steel wall (1.2 cm) gave the relation of signal/ background 7-8
