• Almost every radiation monitor installed at the customs and border control points designed for detection of nuclear fissile materials uses gas neutron counters tracing decay neutrons. They have a low background level, but at the same time small efficiency. This work describes the nuclear fissile materials detection methodology based on the instantaneous gamma-radiation accompanying the decay. The tests results of designed and produced radiation monitors based on this principle to control pedestrian and vehicles are presented.
