Neurton Radiography

[jgbarnes@ix.netcom.com (JAMES BARNES)]

Greetings,

Regarding my comments about the penetrating power of neutron 
radiography yesterday. . . .

I asked one of the gents who used to frequently work with our neutron 
radiography system here at Rockwell.  He said that it would easily 
penetrate the piping described in yesterdary's query, with good 
resolution on hydrogenous materials.

He said he has seen a number of radiographs of mice in piping, wood, 
plastic, etc etc.  He was unaware, however, of any portable systems, 
but suggested that on could conceivably use a Cf-252 source (lots of 
problems with this, of course).
