| Research Abstract |
Transportable neutron radiography(NRG) system was examined with view to both generating neutron beams and developing a real-time image processing system. First, neutron beams with different spectra were designed by Monte Carlo calculation(MCNP) for a ^<252>Cf radioisotope when optimizing combination of moderator, neutron filter and shielding materials. Calculation values of thermal neutron flux (10^3 ncm^<-2>s^<-1>) with gamma-ray dose rate (0.5 mSvh^<-1>) were verified by the experiment at the irradiation port of 30 cm from the source. Next, a high intensity imaging intensifier (I.I) camera and a signal processing system were developed and were examined by X-rays. The signal processing system has three frame accumulation memories for normal, binary-converted and center-of-gravity frames for real-time image processing. The system was examined by using ^<252>Cf neutron source. Finally, a D-D neutron tube is suggested as better neutron source of a transportable module than ^<252>Cf neutron source for application to low intensity radiography.
