Washington, Nov. 25 -- Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in California are developing a neutron scatter camera, which they say may solve the problem of identifying smuggled nuclear material.

The researchers say that the new camera will have the ability to detect radiation from much greater distances, and through more shielding than current detection instruments.

Sandia physicist Nick Mascarenhas says that the neutron scatter camera will help detect the presence of radiation, its source, and the amount of its emanation.

The camera's ability to count neutrons from a source of ...
