Phoenix Nuclear Labs (PNL) announced that it has been awarded multiple contracts by the U.S. Army, for a total of $3.6 million. Under these contracts, PNL will build an advanced neutron radiography system to detect defective munitions and demonstrate the ability to use their neutron generators to detect and identify concealed explosive threats.

The company will deliver an upgraded, pilot production neutron radiography system that will be the first such system to be installed in a munitions production facility.  The new system is expected to produce 10 times higher neutron yield, enabling faster performance and higher resolution.  It will be capable of producing digital images that will improve the system's ability to analyze and store data.
