Abstract

This invention discloses a method of detecting concealed nuclear material on a cargo-carrying vehicle. The method includes: deploying a number of dosimeters in a number of locations in the cargo-carrying vehicle; and analyzing the number of dosimeters to determine whether the fissile material is on the cargo-carrying vehicle.
