Prospects of fast neutron radiography based on portable neutron generators

The aim of this work was to investigate experimentally feasibility of realizing and prospects of real time fast neutron radiography with a portable neutron generator and a luminescent CCD-detector. Description of the used equipment and examples of radiographic images are presented. Perspective application of the equipment for visualizing light materials shielded by heavy ones in the field of non- destructive inspection was demonstrated. Feasibility to exploit x-rays emission of portable generators was revealed as well.
