Abstract

The European project entitled “effective Container inspection at BORDer control points” (C-BORD) focuses on the development and in-situ tests of a comprehensive cost-effective solution for the generalized Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) of containers and large-volume freight at the European Union (EU) border. It copes with a large range of targets, including explosives, chemical warfare agents, illicit drugs, tobacco and Special Nuclear Materials. Within the C-BORD project, a new generation of Tagged Neutron Inspection System (TNIS) for cargo containers is foreseen. Unlike its predecessors, this system would be the first Rapidly Relocatable TNIS (RRTNIS). It will be a second-line defense system, to be used on sealed containers in order to detect explosives, illicit drugs and chemical agents in a suspect voxel (elementary volume unit).

We report on the status of the RRTNIS system, in particular the overall design, the characterization of the large-volume NaI(Tl) gamma detectors, the digital analysis of the time measurements and the Data Acquisition System (DAQ).

在欧洲H2020 C-BORD项目框架下开发的首个快速可重新定位标记中子检测系统(RRTNIS)的检测系统☆

题为"边境控制点有效集装箱检查" (C-BORD)的欧洲项目侧重于开发和现场测试一种具有成本效益的综合解决方案，用于在欧洲联盟(欧盟)边境对集装箱和大批量货物进行普遍非侵入性检查。它能对付各种各样的目标，包括炸药、化学战剂、非法药物、烟草和特殊核材料。在C-BORD项目中，新一代的标签中子检测系统(TNIS)将用于货物集装箱。与之前的系统不同，该系统将是第一个快速可重新定位的TNIS (RRTNIS)。这将是第二线防御系统，用于密封容器，以便在可疑体素(基本体积单位)中探测爆炸物、非法药物和化学剂。我们报告了RRTNIS系统的现状，特别是总体设计，大体积NaI(Tl)伽马探测器的特性，时间测量的数字分析和数据采集系统(DAQ)。
