KTH scanner could help airports prevent acts of nuclear terrorism

A scanning technology aimed at detecting small amounts of nuclear materials was unveiled by scientists at KTH, with the hope of preventing acts of nuclear terrorism. Bo Cederwall, a professor of physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, says the technology can be used in airports and seaports for routine inspection of passengers and goods. The research is published and featured in the journals Science Advances and Science, respectively. A 3D representation of how two sources of radiation of different strengths would appear when imaged at the same time. A form of tomography, the system enables quick 3D imaging of the source of neutron and gamma ray emissions from weapons-grade plutonium and other special nuclear materials, Cederwall says.

NGET technology promises to thwart nuclear threats

A form of tomography, the system enables quick 3D imaging of the source of neutron and gamma ray emissions from weapons-grade plutonium and other special nuclear materials, Cederwall said in a statement. The so-called Neutron-Gamma Emission Tomography (NGET) system goes beyond the capabilities of existing radiation portal monitors by measuring the time and energy correlations between particles emitted in nuclear fission. It then uses machine learning algorithms to visualise where they are coming from. The system looks for coincidences of neutron and gamma ray emissions, which pinpoint their origin when mapped together in real-time. ”The technology has a very high sensitivity and can within a few seconds detect gram-amounts of plutonium depending on the application and the plutonium isotope composition,” Cederwall said. “It takes a little longer to get a really good picture so you can see exactly where the plutonium is. However, this can be done completely automatically.”
