Description

Neutron imaging is a powerful non-destructive test technique, which is complementary to X ray imaging. In order to explore movable systems for non-destructive test u- sing isotope neutron sources, theresearch on fast neutron imaging is carried out using an 241Am-Be neutron source and a detecting system consisting of a home-made converting screen and X ray films, some images with high quality are obtained. The results show that 241Am-Be neutron sources have potential for developing mini-detective system. (authors)
