Panel on the assessment<br />
<strong>of</strong> the practicality <strong>of</strong><br />
Pulse <strong>Fast</strong> <strong>Neutron</strong><br />
Transmission Spectroscopy<br />
for Aviation Safety<br />
Report: 1999<br />
Washington D.C.<br />
Recommendations:<br />
1. Do not consider accelerator-based technologies to have promise for<br />
deployment as a primary screening procedure for checked baggage<br />
inspection. Any screening procedure relying on an accelerator cannot compete<br />
with available technologies on either cost or practicality bases<br />
2. Do not fund any large accelerator-based hardware development<br />
projects. Combinations <strong>of</strong> experimental work with existing laboratory<br />
equipment, mathematical modeling and simulation can better define the<br />
potential <strong>of</strong> nuclear technologies without the expense or time required to design<br />
and build new hardware.
