Description

Neutron radiography is a developed nondestructive research method. The neutron total cross sections of light elements, especially hydrogen, make it quite unique as compared to X-ray radiography. The cold and very cold neutron radiography facilities in Kyoto University Reactor (KUR) are used to take a high contrast neutron images with very low energy neutrons. They are used especially for the agricultural research to show a small change of water distribution in plants. (author)
