摘要
Non-destructive inspections have been simulated in laboratory conditions by using our tagged neutron inspection system (TNIS), using YAP:Ce scintillators to tag the neutron beam and an array of BaF2 crystals to detect the gamma-rays. The system has been operated up to 2 x 10(8) neutron/s. Further developments of the TNIS concept are discussed in the light of our current projects for cargo container inspections.
