Brian, Professor Taleyarkhan, and I - in collaboration with our colleagues from Kyoto and Pony Industries - show the proof of concept for Threshold Energy Neutron Analysis using our tensioned mestable fluid detectors. We also discuss our minimum detectable quantity of special nuclear material with this methodology, and the number is significantly smaller (better) than the current state of the art.
