[1N01] Characterization of the Portable IEC Chamber for the SNM Interrogation System
キーワード:Special nuclear materials, Inertial electrostatic confinement, Tensioned metastable fluid detector, Threshold energy neutron analysis
The first portable active interrogation system for special nuclear materials (SNM), such as U-235 and Pu-239, is being developed by our group. The system employs an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device as a neutron source. The first prototype of the IEC device, with 17 cm chamber diameter (IEC17), has been fabricated, assembled and is being tested. Preliminary results from the first portable chamber will be presented in this paper.
