Abstract
The design of a portal developed as part of an advanced international containment and surveillance system concept for fast critical facilities is discussed. Pertinent features of the neutron, gamma, and metal detection elements are enumerated, and the use-logic of the microprocessor based system is examined. Tamper-safe features of the portal are presented, and the system for presenting data to an inspector is reviewed. The portal capabilities are discussed.
