NDA inspection systems are dependent upon the isotopic content of the shipment and the level to which accuracy is required. Potential techniques include any one or a combination of passive and active gamma scanning, and passive and active neutron scanning... In passive gamma scanning, the sample is rotated in front of a collimated detector at several axial increments while gamma spectra are collected. A more complex variation includes a pin-hole gamma camera and a charged coupled detector device to generate real-time images of the entire sample.... Passive gamma scanning is non-invasive and can be done remotely with the sample and positioning mechanism inside a hot cell... 1, record 1, English, - passive%20gamma%20scanning

[...] des techniques spécifiques sont mises en œuvre : radiographie, radiographie numérique, contrôle par ultrasons pour vérifier la santé interne de soudures, gammascanning (actif ou passif), gammagraphie, et autres pour vérifier le contenu des crayons, test d'étanchéité à l'hélium. Le gammascanning actif consiste à activer légèrement la matière fissile (235U) à l'aide d'une source de neutrons puis à en mesurer l'effet par comptage du rayonnement gamma rétrodiffusé qui est proportionnel au contenu en 235U, on vérifie ainsi l'enrichissement mais aussi l'absence d'anomalies dimensionnelles, d'éclats ou autres manques de matière fissile [...] Le gammascanning passif permet d'effectuer les mêmes mesures mais avec une cadence moindre; il est surtout réservé au combustible gadolinié pour lequel la mesure par gammascanning actif perd en précision. 1, record 1, French, - gammascanning%20passif

This satellite is dedicated to observe with high spectroscopic and angular resolution celestial gamma ray sources....

L'instrument IBIS à bord d'INTEGRAL [est] chargé de fournir des images précises du ciel dans un domaine d'énergie allant de 20 keV à 10 MeV. [Cet instrument] est l'héritier direct du télescope SIGMA. Sa conception est en effet très semblable, alliant un masque codé à un ensemble détecteur à base de caméras gamma, le tout étant protégé des rayonnements parasites par des blindages actifs et passifs. L'originalité d'IBIS (Imager on Board the Integral Satellite) réside surtout dans les performances de l'ensemble détecteur qui devrait permettre d'atteindre une sensibilité dix fois meilleure que celle de SIGMA. Pour couvrir un domaine d'énergie de près de 3 ordres de grandeur, il a fallu recourir à l'utilisation de deux caméras. La première, ISGRI (Integral Soft Gamma-Ray Imager), fonctionne à basse énergie (20 keV - 1 MeV). La seconde, PICsIT (PIxellated CsI Telescope), mesure les photons de plus haute énergie (150 keV - 10 MeV). 2, record 5, French, - instrument%20IBIS
