    摘要: A long-range method and a system for reliably detecting and identifying special nuclear materials is provided that relies on the emission of delayed neutrons present in the decay of fission products (delayed neutron precursors) as a unique signature for the special nuclear materials, such as highly enriched uranium (235/238U). The method relies on a time-of-flight measurement in the first 1 μs after the inducing radiation pulse, and pulse height data analysis for both neutrons and gamma rays that can be done at a much higher data rate than in traditional pulse processing systems. The thermal neutron fission within the time regime of 100-500 μs provides a unique signature of special nuclear materials such as the highly enriched uranium.
