Using of Boron Waste as a Shielding Material on Landmine Detection with NBS Imaging Technique
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: Boron wastes are produced as a result of production route of boron products and these wastes still contain a small amount of boron.In order to understand the possible use of boron waste in non-metallic landmine detection as a shielding, Monte Carlo simulations were applied by neutron backscattering imaging technique using two different neutron sources of 252 Cf and deuterium-deuterium (D-D) reaction.NBS imaging detector system consists of a group of thermal neutron 3 He detectors.To investigate the performance of the landmine detection system, a suitable shield around the neutron source was designed and this system was tested for localisation of buried landmine.
