Abstract :
A neutron imaging facility for computed tomography and real-time neutron radiography is currently being developed at the University of Texas TRIGA reactor. The neutron imaging system consists of neutron collimator system, real-time neutron imaging system, and computer systems. Monte Carlo calculations were used to design the neutron collimator system. The neutron imaging system will be used for material studies and nondestructive inspection applications
