What Does APNEA Stand For?

APNEA stands for Active Passive Neutron Examination And Assay

APNEA, or Active Passive Neutron Examination And Assay, is a sophisticated analytical technique used primarily in nuclear safeguards and material characterization. This method leverages both active and passive neutron detection to accurately assess the quantity and composition of fissile materials. By employing advanced neutron interrogation techniques, APNEA enhances the reliability of nuclear material inspections and ensures compliance with regulatory standards in the handling of nuclear substances.
