Can you confirm that a neutron detector was what was tripped? I have been looking for that specific piece of into, and have not seen it in any news accounts. Thanks.

BTW: Neutrons are much more likely to be emitted from enriched uranium or plutonium than from any other source. That makes neutron emissions a good way to check for possible nukes.

BTW2: The idiotic news story about smuggling radioactive material into the U.S. was based on U-238. Almost zero neutrons are emitted from U-238. U-235 is the bad stuff. More proof the networks know nothing about nukes.

I can't - I picked the info up from #16 on this thread.

I haven't done the research (yet), but it sounds a bit scary.
