OSTI ID:7182235
The objective of this effort was to develop a thermal neutron radiography capability based on a 3-Mev Van de Graaff research accelerator, and to apply it to company-related aerospace inspection problems. The research conducted for determining an efficient system design, its final design features, and radiography beam specifications are explained. An example of its use in providing inspection information for the design of a space vehicle heat pipe system is presented.
