Abstract
Detection of special nuclear materials (SNM) in cargo containers is an integral component of homeland security. In this paper a new algorithm is proposed for detecting such materials in containers filled with liquids. Use of imaging, acoustic interrogation and fuzzy logic algorithms support intelligent decision making. The method is tested for a comprehensive scenario of detecting depleted uranium in water.
