- Additional information
- This paper describes the design, build and validation of a novel dual-mode gamma/neutron camera, primarily for use in the security sector via port scanning. The work was funded primarily by the Omani Government (Grant CSD/S/635/2015) to address concerns over the smuggling of special nuclear materials into Oman. Sellafield are also interested in its use within general onsite characterisation and have further supported it via the Innovus scheme (Grant INVS-GC-050). This research has also led to an ongoing partnership with Sultan Qaboos University (Oman) with whom a research proposal is being prepared for submission to the Oman Open Research Grant Program.
