RAD

RAD instrument utilizes transmission of neutrons or X-rays to obtain visual information on the structure and/or inner processes of a given object. Neutrons are able to pierce through several cm thick materials, so the inner structure of even a bulky object can be characterized in a non-destructive way. The interactions between the neutrons and the matter, however, result in the attenuation of the transmitted neutron beam so giving contrast on a sensitive screen. The image detection of the RAD station comprises digital imaging equipments being able to carry out 2D and 3D imaging using suitable scintillation screens. The dynamic radiography is performed by means of a low-light-level TV camera with a fast imaging cycle, making possible real-time imaging.
