Transportable monitoring unit for detection and identification of nuclear material
Abstract
The Fraunhofer-Institut für Naturwissenschaftlich-Technische Trendanalysen (INT) has developed a prototype of a transportable monitoring unit for non-destructive and non-contact analysis of radioactive material, and fissionable material in particular. Passive and active nuclear radiation detection methods are used to determine the presence and type and amount of radioactive or fissionable materials. The purpose of this system is to assess potential risks and give recommendations for further action.
