In this paper we propound a non-destructive and non-invasive technique for measuring the depth of water penetration in a homogeneous slab. The proposed device consists of a 252Cf spontaneous fission source and a set of 3He detectors located on the same side of a concrete slab subject to water infiltration. The effectiveness of this technique has been investigated by Monte Carlo simulation with the MCNP4C code.
