Abstract
Calculations have been carried out to determine the feasibility of locating land mines by detecting the photons induced in the mine by the neutrons from a fission source. It is concluded that the fission source strength required to achieve an appreciable counting rate is sufficiently large that mine detection by the proposed method is problematical.
