Abstract
Tests planned to validate the operation of a 300 kW, 670 GHz gyrotron, presently under construction at the University of Maryland, are presented. Once the gyrotron is operational, the program will focus on investigating the applicability of the gyrotron´s wave beam to remotely detect the presence of concealed radioactive materials.
