ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining the subcriticality of masses of uranium by directing epithermal neutrons toward said mass, isolating said material from external thermal neutrons, and measuring the ratio of thermal and epithermal neutrons to epithermal neutrons which enables the establishment of a subcriticality value representative of the mass of uranium.
