What is neutron radiography? Neutron transmission radiography(NR) is based on the application of the universal law of attenuation of radiation passing through matter. Because different materials have different attenuation behaviour the neutron beam passing through a sample can be interpreted as a signal carrying information about the composition and structure of the sample. The basic experimental set-up is given by the following arrangement : source-collimator-object-collector. 3, record 1, English, - neutron%20radiography

[...] il est possible d'étudier la répartition de certains éléments en utilisant les particules émises en cours d'irradiation à partir de ces éléments. La méthode dite des traces nucléaires, encore connue sous le nom de NCR (neutron capture radiography) s'apparente à celle de l'autoradiographie, mais ici le détecteur est un minéral ou un film organique (le plus souvent nitrate de cellulose) irradié plaqué sur l'échantillon à analyser. Contrairement aux films photographiques, ces détecteurs ne sont pas sensibles aux rayons ß et [gamma]. Les dommages engendrés dans ces détecteurs par les particules émises pendant l'irradiation (protons, [alpha]) sont révélés après irradiation par attaque chimique, comme pour les traces de fission. 1, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20des%20traces%20nucl%C3%A9aires
