The safe and verifiable disposition, either by incineration or chemical neutralization of chemical warfare (CW) agents requires correct a priori identification of each munition or container to be processed. A variety of NDE techniques have been used or tested for the examination and characterization of munitions. [1,2] In the U.S., three widely used techniques are X-ray radiography, acoustic resonance spectroscopy (ARS), and prompt gamma ray neutron activation analysis (PINS). The technical bases, instrumental implementations, and applications of the U.S. versions of these methods are briefly discussed. |
