Abstract
To reduce the risk of leaking confidential information in nuclear arms
control, we propose a new arms control inspection concept based on neutron
activation analysis, in conjunction with physical shielding technology to
distort the energy and propagation path of the outgoing particles in the
physical domain. The reliability and security of this authentication concept
are demonstrated using Monte Carlo simulations. It turns out that the
concept can readily identify isotope cheats and two typical geometric
cheats without revealing sensitive information about the inspected items.
