Verifikation von Kernwaffen mit Hilfe aktiver Neutronenmessungen
Abstract
The physical and technical means are discussed for the detection and identification of nuclear weapons. Especially active detection methods (neutron irradiation) give clear results. It is nearly impossible to obstruct these methods by counter measures. A small volume of depleted uranium was irradiated with neutrons from radioactive sources as well as from a transportable neutron generator. The direct and delayed neutrons from induced fission were detected. The time dependent intensity of the delayed neutrons gives within a short time a clear indication of the fissionable material.
