Abstract

A method and apparatus is disclosed for determining the moisture content of a substance irradiated by a fast neutron and gamma ray source wherein a fast neutron moderator is positioned in the path of the fast neutrons and gamm rays transmitted through the substance. A unitary thick Li glass or LiI glass detector is positioned behind or surrounded by the fast neutron moderator and detects both slow neutrons and gamma rays. Simplified counting circuitry utilizing a single channel analyser determines the intensities of the detected slow neutrons and gamma rays enabling the moisture content of the substance.
