What is Detecting Illicit Uranium in Cargo Containers about?

Jennifer Church presented a method for detecting enriched uranium in cargo containers using neutron interrogation. Neutrons induce fission in enriched uranium, producing short-lived fission products that emit beta delayed gamma rays, which are detected after a set time to identify the presence of enriched uranium. In experiments, Church was able to distinguish between natural uranium shielded by 3 feet of wood and background radiation levels using this technique. The goal is to reliably scan large cargo con
