Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006008360A1] The invention relates to a method and system for probing an object, which contains potentially radioemitting elements, by photofission. The object is bombarded by a beam of electrons of sufficient power and the conversion thereof into photons by Bremsstrahlung is effected directly inside the object to be probed, which is likely to contain photofissile material. No target is added to the packet for said conversion. Preferably, the object that is to be probed is a radioactive waste packet having a thick absorbent concrete container.
