    摘要: An inspection system for measuring a plurality of fission signatures comprising a radiation source, wherein said radiation source produces radiation directed towards an object under inspection and induces fission in any nuclear material that may be present in the object; and a threshold-activation detector, comprising at least one threshold-activation material wherein said threshold-activation material is also a scintillant and at least one detector for detecting beta radiation resulting from activation of the threshold-activation material by prompt fission neutrons.
