Abstract

Feasibility studies on neutron radiography using an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) neutron source were carried out. A Monte Carlo analysis was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of neutron radiography experiment. Imaging tests using a medium-sized IEC neutron source were conducted with the indirect method using a dysprosium (Dy) foil and an imaging plate. Neutron images of objects consisting of six Cd pins and an array of B4C powder contained in a stainless-steel blade were obtained. The numerical and experimental results confirmed that the IEC neutron source can be applied to neutron radiography even with relatively low neutron flux of ∼102 n/s/cm2.
