Abstract
An apparatus for detecting energetic radiation from a source. The apparatus includes at least one liquid scintillator for emitting one or more optical signals in response to the energetic radiation. The one or more liquid scintillators comprise a highly metal loaded solution. The apparatus also includes at least one photodetector for detecting the one or more optical signal.

An apparatus for detecting energetic radiation from a source, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one liquid scintillator for emitting at least one optical signal in response to the energetic radiation, the at least one liquid scintillator comprising a highly metal loaded solution;
- and
- at least one photodetector for detecting the at least one optical signal.
A radiation detector for detecting at least gamma-rays from a source, the detector comprising:
- at least one liquid scintillator for emitting at least one optical signal in response to the gamma rays, the at least one liquid scintillator comprising a highly metal loaded solution stored within a corrosion resistant vessel;
- and
- at least one photodetector for detecting the at least one optical signal.
A radiation detector for detecting neutrons emitted from a source, the detector comprising:
- at least one liquid scintillator for emitting at least one optical signal in response to the emitted neutrons, the at least one liquid scintillator comprising a highly metal loaded solution stored within a corrosion resistant vessel;
- and
- at least one photodetector for detecting the at least one optical signal.
