Prices availahle from (615) 576-8401, FTS 626-8401 Recent changes in the US nuclear weapons stockpile and its associated production complex have made nondestructive surveillance of weapons systems an increasingly important issue. In this paper we present the conceptual design for a neutron imaging system for use in the 10 -15 MeV energy range and discuss it potential applications in stockpile stewardship.
