Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is offering the opportunity to license intellectual property rights covering water Cerenkov-based neutron and high-energy gamma ray detector for special nuclear materials (SNM). The technology addresses to important technical problems associated with SNM detection. One is that SNM detectors are generally sensitive to cosmogenic and ambient background gamm rays and neutrons in addition to any potential real SNM source. This has the effect of reducing the sensitivity to real SNM. The other problem relates to environmental and physical safety. LLNL says it has developed a water Cerenkov-based neutron detector as an efficient and cost effective way to detect multiple simultaneous fission neutrons and high energy gammas from SNM hidden in cargo luggage or elsewhere. The lab says the detector system cand be used for SNM detection, stationary portal monitoring to potentially replace systems using Helium-3, and nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation. LLNL has already built, tested and delployed a 250,000 pound prototype. Sol. No. FBO219-10. Respond by March 10. Contact: Connie Pitcock, 925-422-1072, [email protected].
