A number of nuclear techniques have been utilized or considered for detecting concealed explosives. These techniques range from those utilizing multi-energetic x rays to those relying on high energy photons or neutrons. The physical principles behind these methods are reviewed. Each technique is critically examined, in view of its ability to distinguish explosive materials from other common materials of similar composition. The suitability of each method for use in airport security also is discussed.
