Application of thermal neutrons in testing of nuclear facilities materials

  • 1. Institute of Atomic Energy, Otwock-Swierk (Poland)

Description

Recent applications of thermal neutrons in testing of materials used in nuclear facilities are presented. The neutron radiography technique, characterization of residual stresses with neutron diffraction and small angle neutron scattering is considered in some detail. The results of testing of fuel elements, steel used for pressurized reactor vessels and changes induced in control rods are discussed. (author)
