Abstract

As a nondestructive inspection tool, neutron radiography could complement the application of x-ray radiography to in-process inspection. However, the best source of neutrons for this purpose is the nuclear reactor which is both uneconomical and inconvenient to apply to the task. Small accelerator sources of neutrons seem to be a way of bringing neutron radiography out of the reactor and into the workplace. The recent successful demonstration of the usefulness of a mobile small accelerator-based system by AMMRC has awakened many to consider new applications for neutron radiography. The paper includes a review of neutron radiography technology, particularly the problem of finding an efficient and economical source of neutrons.
