  • Neutron radiography method and apparatus for the implementation thereof
    Patent number: 11067517
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for neutron radiography is provided for the examination of elongate radioactive items, primarily nuclear fuel elements, and also for the non-destructive testing of irradiated and non-irradiated objects in order to determine the internal structure and material composition thereof. The method and apparatus include placing an object under examination into a protective container. A detection system includes a rotatable limb with a mounting seat for securing neutron detectors in a diametric groove. The limb being mounted to be rotatable by a set angle about an axis parallel to the axis of the object under examination and having a semi-circular recess therein for the passage of an elongate object as the limb rotates by an angle ±?i relative to the direction of a neutron beam.
    Type: Grant
