Selected methods for border monitoring, utilizing nuclear techniques are discussed, with a
particular emphasis on those developed with the contribution of our Institute. It covers a basic
inspection of the borders against smuggling of radioactive materials, as well as known systems
using linear accelerators of electrons for inspection of large trucks by X-ray radiography. More
advanced active methods based on tagged neutron inspection systems to monitor explosives and
methods based on photofission to detect fissile materials are presented, too.
