Inspecting the Inside of Sunken Ships and Ship’s Underwater Hull

In order to demonstrate the possibility of identifying the material within ship’s underwater hull, sunken ships, or other objects on the sea fl oor, tests with a 14 MeV sealed tube neutron generator incorporated inside a small submarine were performed in the test basin fi lled with sea water. The results obtained for inspection of diesel fuel and explosive presence behind single and double hull structures are presented.
