3.4 Neutron Computed Tomography Computed axial tomography has been developed for neutron radiography and can provide detailed cross sectional slices of the object to be analyzed. Although the principle is similar to that of X-ray computed tomography, the information conveyed by neutrons can be unique. In a typical facility the object is rotated in the neutron beam and data are stored for upward of 200 angles. Detectors used have included a scintillator screen 6 LiF-ZnS (Ag), viewed by a cooled charge coupled device camera and alternatively a storage phosphor image plate loaded with Gd 2 O 3 combined with an automatic laser beam scanner. Using a high intensity neutron radiography beam of over 10 8 neutrons per square centimeter second, computed tomography of two-phase flow volumes has been processed as a time averaged three-dimensional analysis.

3.5 Neutron Gaging and Neutron Probe Techniques Neutron gaging is the measurement of attenuation of a collimated small diameter beam of radiation as it is transmitted by a specimen. A neutron radiology service center equipped with a nuclear reactor has demonstrated that the imaging techniques can be complemented by the more quantitative techniques of gaging. The gaging technique can inspect items of greater thickness than can be inspected with neutron radiography. It has been used for static gaging of discrete assemblies and for continuous scanning of long objects for acceptable uniformity. There are also a variety of neutron probe techniques in which radiation, typically gamma, is observed as a result of neutron radiation incident on the object. For example the associated particle sealed tube neutron generator enables the flight time of the incident neutron to be used in conjunction with gamma ray spectroscopy to indicate the chemical composition within an object. This technique has been developed for identification of hidden explosives, drugs or nuclear materials. Another example of a neutron probe is neutron interferometry to detect phase shifts of the neutron wave properties. This neutron phase topography has been proposed for very high sensitivity material testing. Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang
