AbstractAbstract
[en] In neutron radiography, as in other forms of NDE, it is sometimes desirable to observe dynamic events. This need has generated increased interest in the development of real-time neutron radiography systems and neutron-to-light converter screens optimized for real-time application. Two screens currently available at MURR are: (1) a 0.041-cm-thick Gd2O2S screen manufactured by 3M Company and (2) a 6KiF-ZnS(Ag) screen (NE 426) manufactured by Nuclear Enterprises. These screens are presently used in conventional film neutron radiography and represent two of the commercially available screens that have demonstrated the greatest resolution and sensitivity. Unfortunately, these screens have severe limitations when used for real-time neutron radiography. In order to isolate and minimize the factors contributing to these limitations, several neutron absorbers and phosphorus were studied at MURR. The screen thickness and the neutron absorber/phosphorus weight ratio was also varied and the resulting screens evaluated with respect to their sensitivity and MTF
