reactor-based neutron radiography

Reactor-based neutron radiography is a technique that uses neutrons emitted from a nuclear reactor to examine the internal structure of objects. Unlike X-rays, neutrons can pass through dense materials like metal and reveal hidden details without damaging the object. When neutrons pass through an item, differences in material composition cause varying levels of attenuation, creating an image that highlights internal features. This method is valuable for inspecting complex components, such as aerospace parts or cultural artifacts, providing detailed insights into their inner makeup with high precision.
