Abstract

A neutron radiographic facility on a research reactor and its characteristics are briefly described. A collimator of the facility is placed in a horizontal thermal column channel of 150mm in diameter. The converters of Gd or Dy metal foils, or painted Gd2O2S paper plate combined respectively with x-film are used as image detector and indicator. Some performances of the system, such as resolution and sensitivity, have experimentally been tested. Some practical applications of the facility and better results obtained in NDT for the quality inspecting and controlling of several industrial products are illustrated.
