2nd world conference on neutron radiography, June 1986, Paris

Neutron radiography has proven to be an excellent nondestructive inspection technique for specific combinations of materials where X-radiography fails or is inadequate. It is invaluable for detection of cracks, voids and discontinuities. About 170 attendeers came from 28 countries (ca. 50 of France, 25 of the Federal Republic of Germany, 25 of Japan, 20 of USA and 10 of Great Britain). A list of abstracts in English (268 p.) was available. Oral and poster presentations were accompanied of a little exhibition, table rounds and excursions. Topics of sessions concerned to nuclear reactor facilities, non-reactor sources, general, industrial, and nuclear applications, corrosion inspection, electronic and track etch imaging, dimensional measuring, tomography, standards, and status reports.
