Abstract
A fast neutron coincidence counter using BC454/BGO phoswich detectors has been evaluated for the purpose of rapid verification measurements of uranium items. This counter uses custom electronics to identify and count coincidence neutrons in the presence of background radiation. Measurements of uranium standards were performed to evaluate the counter. This counter is successful in measuring uranium items but has a low efficiency that results in minimal improvement over current technology. An optimized counter can be built with better performance capabilities, but it is recommended that newer technologies be used instead.
