Abstract
An optoelectronic neutron detector and method for detecting nuclear material having a neutron capture and scatter medium receiving neutrons and producing secondary charged particles, a photodetector detecting emitted light from the secondary charged particles and outputting a detector signal, and a controller receiving the detector signal and providing an alert or quantitative indication of detected nuclear material in response to the detector signal.
