Abstract
A novel method of simultaneous detection of concealed explosive substances and heavily shielded nuclear materials is described. Experimental setup based on a portable DT neutron generator and detectors of neutrons and γ-rays has been created and tested. Results of tests with real fissioning materials are presented.
