Lightweight, low energy neutron radiography inspection device
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5835783
A device is described for conducting neutron radiography comprising: an on/off sealed tube neutron generator using solely a deuterium target for emitting relatively low energy neutrons having an energy level of approximately 3 MeV and an unthermalized neutron yield of at least approximately 1x10/sup 10/D-D n/second, a maneuverable inspection head supporting the neutron generator and having moderating fluid therein to thermalize the neutrons emitted from the neutron source, and collimator means for directing the thermalized neutrons to an imaging plane to produce a thermal neutron radiograph.
