Portable isotopic neutron spectroscopy PINS detector

A portable isotopic neutron spectroscopy (PINS) detector can be used to help eliminate an anomaly or munitions as being dangerous. The PINS detector is only effective for six inches, thus the object does not have to be completely excavated. A larger truck-mounted version called pulsed fast neutron analysis (PFNA) can penetrate to five feet, but it is extremely dangerous to drive a heavy vehicle over a munitions site. Still larger permanently mounted versions are available for customs work, which can look through an 8-ft wide steel shipping container or semitrailer.
