Abstract
In 1979 a Neutron Radiography Working Group (NRWG) was constituted within Euratom with the participation of all centers within the European Community at which neutron facilities were available. The main purpose of NRWG was to standardize methods and procedures used in neutron radiography of nuclear reactor fuel as well as establish standards for radiographic image quality of neutron radiographs. The NRWG meets once a year in each of the neutron radiography centers to review the progress made and draw plans for the future.
Besides, ad-hoc sub-groups on different topics within the field of neutron radiography are constituted. This paper reviews the activities and achievements of the NRWG and its sub-groups.
