Nuclear reactors provide the intense neutron sources required to visualize objects based on their interactions with neutrons, which provides a new range of possibilities compared to traditional NDT methods. This specialized NDT method enables inspections that go beyond X-ray imaging.
The process of neutron radiography uses high yield neutron generators to capture a scan of the internal mechanisms of a sealed object. A neutron beam is directed toward an object and an image is formed. Unlike x-ray testing, neutrons can penetrate high density material.
There are many benefits to using neutron radiography testing, including:
