Performance Evaluation of Neutron Radiography Facility at Kyung Hee University Reactor, AGN-201K

Neutron radiography facility (NRF) is the nondestructive inspection equipment that utilizes intrinsic penetration property of neutrons. This technique is based on the interaction of thermal neutrons with nucleus instead of the electron as in X-ray radiography. Because of supplementary benefits to X-ray, NRFs have been widely used in the most of research reactors. In some facilities, NRF serves very critical service to many industries with high level of quality assurance: such as NDT for aerospace machine parts or on-line nano-scale monitoring research for a fuel cell. As an enhancement program of Reactor Research and Education Center (RREC), NRF was designed and installed recently. In this paper, summary of design study for NRF at AGN-201K reactor was given with recent results from experimental test shots
