D-1947 EXPLOSIVE DETECTION SYSTEM Abstract of the Disclosure A system for detecting the presence of explosives contained in an object under observation, including a cavity structure for receiving the object and a radiation source for producing'thermal neutrons directed to the object under observation. Gamma rays are produced to represent the presence of explosives and as an example the concentration of nitrogen contained in the object. Inorganic scintillators are located within the cavity structure to detect the gamma rays and produce an output signal representative of the presence and concentration of the nitrogen and/or other elements contained in the object. The inorganic scintillators are formed as a ring around the cavity structure to detect the nitrogen and/or other elements within at least one particular plane passing through the object. The object under observation is moved through the cavity structure to detect the nitrogen in successive planes to build up a three dimensional profile of explosives concentration. * * * * * * * * *
