Problems solved by technology

Limited time to detect and identify isotopes present may affect ability to estimate content validity
The limited time provided by current container detection systems such as those used with cranes has a detrimental effect on the commercial viability of radioactive, neutron, explosive and special substances and detection systems and results in containers being manually interrogated negatively impacting commercial processes

Abstract

A multi-stage process detects and identifies radiation, explosives, and special materials within a shipping container. The process utilizes radiation sensors configured as nodes on a distributed network. The process collects radiation data from the nodes. The radiation data is associated with the container and its contents. The collected radiation data is dynamically adjusted according to dynamically changing background radiation data, such as relating to water, land, air, ground, and other structures. The process compares collected and adjusted radiation data to spectral images representing isotopes to identify one or more isotopes present. Identified isotopes are corresponded to possible materials that they represent. The possible materials are compared with the manifest of the container to confirm the identity of materials contained in the container or to detect and / or identify unauthorized materials in the container. A neutron pulse device could be used to identify shielded materials, explosives, and other types of materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to container content detection systems, and more particularly to a non-invasive system and method for identifying dangerous substances in containers, such as radioactive substances and / or Neutron emitting materials, explosives, and special materials such as highly enriched uranium. Background technique [0002] Attempts are currently being made to provide detection systems for radiation, neutrons, explosives, and special substances to authenticate containers, such as those already mounted on the jib of a gantry crane, to identify the isotopes present for a limited time. Radiation sensor systems used to detect and identify radioactive material present within a container may not have an exposure time to uniquely identify all isotope types that may be present. The limited time available to detect and identify isotopes present may affect the ability to estimate content validity. The limited time provided by current...
