The EURITRACK Concept for Cargo Inspection with Tagged Neutrons

Abstract

The EURITRACK project aims to design and field test the prototype of a non-intrusive inspection system for the detection of explosives and other illegal materials in cargo containers using tagged neutrons. In this paper we will give a short introduction to the general physical concept of the EURITRACK system, the layout and functionalities of the information system with details of the data treatment and of the inspection strategy and finally an analysis of the first experimental results. The results demonstrate the detection capabilities of the EURITRACK inspection system.JRC.G.8-Nuclear safeguard
