New Method Could Optimize Detection of Nuclear Materials Hidden Within Containers

A new low-energy nuclear reaction imaging method was put to test by a team of researchers recently. This method has the capability of detecting whether there was any weapons-grade plutonium and uranium present, and can be applied to check cargo containers entering into the US ports. The method relies on a mixture of high-energy photons and neutrons to detect radioactive materials shielded within the containers.
