Abstract
A detector and methodology for inspecting a sealed nuclear storage container is described and which includes a collimated gamma-ray radiation detector which is moveably borne by the sealed nuclear storage container, and which detects gamma-ray radiation which is emitted by a plurality of spent nuclear fuel sources which are enclosed within the sealed nuclear storage container for purposes of detecting the illicit or unauthorized removal of spent nuclear fuel from the nuclear storage container.
