Recent developments and capabilities in neutron radiography at HEDL

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5675637
Radiographic imaging of irradiated fuels has routinely been qualitative in nature, providing information on the general condition of the internal components of an irradiated fuel pin. Conventional x-ray and neutron radiographic techniques, applicable to irradiated fuels, have not been of high enough resolution to be useful for quantitative image analysis. Recently, however, high resolution neutron radiographic techniques suitable for quantitative image analysis, using precision microdensitometry, have been developed at HEDL. This paper describes the modifications made to a previously developed system to obtain quantitative measurements from high resolution neutron radiographs and evaluates the precision of these measurements.
