Summary
We describe the function of a micro-channel plate gamma-ray detector designed for non-intrusive detection of physically obscured special nuclear material (SNM), including nuclear weapons. An example application of such a detector is a cooperative inspection distinguishing between nuclear and non-nuclear weapons where legitimate numbers of each may be present. In this type of scenario, the information needed would be the number of each type of weapon. Another example scenario would be a weapon-type classification based on a benchmarked gamma-ray count rate from each package type (nuclear type A or nuclear type B). In both of these scenarios, we desire the location of nuclear weapons.
