  • Automated monitoring of fissile and fertile materials in large waste containers
    Patent number: 4620100
    Abstract: A system for determining the U-235 and U-238 content in a box of radioactive waste material. The system utilizes a passive arrangement which detects spontaneous gamma ray emission from the material in combination with an active arrangement including a neutron source for activating the material.

  • Apparatus and method for the measurement of neutron moderating or absorbing properties of objects
    Patent number: 4243886
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the neutron moderating or absorbing properties of objects or materials in which a fast neutron source cooperates with a neutron absorbing material which reduces the energy of the fast neutrons by inelastic scattering so that they can be readily thermalized by a moderator. A thermal neutron detector is disposed adjacent the material and serves to detect thermal neutrons emitted by a moderator placed to receive and thermalize the reduced energy neutrons. A material whose absorption is to be measured is placed between a moderator and the detector.
