[…] l’interrogation par neutrons thermiques affecte essentiellement les éléments fissiles et l’interrogation par des neutrons rapides concerne les éléments fertiles et fissiles. Ainsi, la mesure du signal prompt concerne les éléments fissiles et le signal retardé concerne les éléments fissiles et fertiles. Moyennant un spectre neutronique interrogateur approprié (rapide et thermique) et en utilisant des hypothèses sur certains radioéléments, il devient alors possible de quantifier séparément les éléments fissiles (235U, [exposants 239,241]Pu) et fertiles (essentiellement238U). 1, record 2, French, - spectre%20neutronique%20interrogateur

A number of devices are available to assay Contact Handled-Transuranic (CH-TRU) for fissile material. One assay technique employs a pulsed fast-neutron source of 108 neutron/second to provide interrogation neutrons that upon thermalization produce fissions in any fissile material. The fission neutrons, counted using3He detector packs, are separated from the interrogation neutrons by their longer die-away time. 1, record 3, English, - interrogation%20neutron

La quantification non destructive de la masse de noyaux lourds au moyen de la mesure neutronique active repose sur la stimulation de la réaction de fission et la mesure des neutrons qui en découlent. Cela suppose une source de particules interrogatrices (source isotopique, générateur de neutrons, accélérateur d’électrons...), une enceinte de thermalisation destinée à ralentir et à maintenir les neutrons interrogateurs à des énergies où les sections efficaces de fission associées aux isotopes recherchés sont optimales et, enfin, un dispositif de détection pour la mesure des neutrons. Le signal neutronique de fission est directement lié à la masse de matière qui a fissionné. Sa connaissance permet, étalonnage à l’appui, de quantifier cette masse. 1, record 3, French, - neutron%20interrogateur
