1. A system for detecting explosive, radioactive or fissile material aboard waterborne vessels, the system comprising:

  • (a) a floating platform;

    (b) at least one linear accelerator coupled to said floating platform, wherein the linear accelerator can direct a photon beam at a waterborne target vessel, wherein if said target vessel contains explosive, radioactive or fissile material, photonuclear reactions induced by the photon beam will produce characteristic neutron radiation from the explosive, radioactive or fissile material, wherein said neutron radiation is detectable through shielding;

    (c) at least one neutron radiation detector coupled to said floating platform for detecting said induced neutron radiation if said target vessel contains explosive, radioactive or fissile material; and

    (d) a data storage system for documenting radiation data and corresponding identification data for the target vessel.
