Resonance neutron radiography is a method of assaying and measuring the distribution of an isotope in a sample by means of the neutron absorption in the sample. This paper describes a scanning radiography system. A white neutron source is generated by the bombardment of a tungsten photoneutron source by electrons from the NBS Linac. The neutrons are moderated to enhance the production of low-energy neutrons and collimated into a fan-shaped beam. A one-dimensional position-sensitive proportional counter (PSPC) is placed in the beam so that it is evenly illuminated by the neutron beam. The sample to be investigated is then moved through the beam incrementally.
