AbstractAbstract
[en] In order to prevent corrosion-related aircraft loss, one must detect corrosion in the component before failure. This can be accomplished through the nondestructive Inspection (NDI) technique called neutron radiography. Implementation of neutron radiography for NDI is taking place at McClellan AFB, headquarters for the Sacramento Air Logistics Center (SMALC). Three systems will utilize the neutron radiography technique: the Transportable Neutron Radiography System (TNRS), the Maneuverable Neutron Radiography System (MNRS), and the Stationary Neutron Radiography System (SNRS). The SNRS is a specially designed facility, consisting of: TRIGA Reactor; Shield and Containment; four radiography bays; two robotic parts positioning systems; two real-time imaging systems. Like other TRIGA systems, the SNRS can also inspect advanced composite materials, turbine blades, hydraulic components, pyrotechnics. Further capabilities include neutron activation analysis using a pneumatic tube transfer system and nuclear hardening studies. The SNRS will also be capable of pulsing
