  SHORT DESCRIPTION OF NATURE AND QUANTITY OR VALUE OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES

  The Sellafield Decommissioning Development Team are interested in exploring technologies that will enable us to create two dimensional images of plant equipment that shows the spread and location of fissile content through the detection of neutrons rather than gamma detection eg, a neutron camera. It is considered that an additional benefit of using a nuetron camera over a gamma camera may be the ability to generate either absolute or relative quantities of fissile material.
