文摘Based on the time-dependent coincidence method, a preliminary experiment has been performed on uranium metal castings with similar quality （about 8-10 kg） and shape （hemispherical shell） in different enrichments using neutron from Cf fast fission chamber and timing DT accelerator. Groups of related parameters can be obtained by analyzing the features of time-dependent coincidence counts between source-detector and two detectors to charac- terize the fission signal. These parameters have high sensitivity to the enrichment, the sensitivity coefficient （defined as （AR/Am）/f-t） can reach 19.3% per kg of 235U. We can distinguish uranium castings with different enrichments to hold nuclear weapon verification.
