Abstract
A fast neutron transmission based experimental set up has been developed to determine concentration of hydrogen in the bulk sample. The facility has been tested with transmission of 2.8 MeV neutrons through cylindrical samples.NE213 scintillation detector was used to detect transmitted fast neutrons. In preliminary tests of the facility wood and soil samples containing known amount of water were analyzed. Intensity of fast neutrons transmitted through the samples shows linear correlation with water contents of the soil sample. The facility and results of the preliminary tests will be presented.
