We are studying inspection systems based on the use of fast neutrons for detecting illicit substances such as explosives and drugs in luggage and cargo containers. Fast-neutron techniques can determine the quantities of light elements such as carbon,

To enhance task performance in partially structured environment, enhancement of teleoperation was proposed by introducing autonomous behaviors. Such autonomy is implemented based on reactive robotic architecture, where reactive motor agents that dire

Fast-Neutron Transmission Spectroscopy (FNTS) is being investigated for detection of explosives in luggage or other small containers. This technique uses an accelerator to generate nanosecond-pulsed deuteron beams that strike a target, producing a wh

Non-destructive interrogation systems designed to locate illicit substances in sealed containers involve decision making when the available objective information is incomplete. The greater the quantity of information, the more reliable is the determi

Fast-neutron interrogation techniques are of interest for detecting illicit substances such as explosives and drugs because of their ability to identify light elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, which are the primary constituents of these

Non-invasive inspection systems based on the use of fast neutrons are being studied for the inspection of large cargo containers. A key advantage of fast neutrons is their sensitivity to low-Z elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, which are

An aerosol of U 3 O 8 highly enriched in 235 U was generated with a nebulizer from a suspension of U 3 O 8 powder in distilled water. The aerosol was collected on a membrane filter. Polycarbonate plastic, placed in good contact with the filter, was u
