What is Neutron Sensors?

Neutron sensors play a crucial role in detecting potential threats related to nuclear weapons and materials, which can be relevant in conflict situations. 

         Gamma Neutron Sensors 

They are effective in detecting special nuclear material (SNM) like uranium and plutonium, which are key components in nuclear weapons. Neutron detectors can identify these materials even when attempts are made to shield or disguise them, as neutrons can penetrate many materials that block other forms of radiation. 

They are often used in conjunction with gamma-ray sensors to confirm the presence of fissile materials.

(The most important fissile materials for nuclear weapons and reactors are uranium-235 and plutonium-239.)
