  • Abstract
    Development in detector technology and imaging techniques have widened the scope of neutron radiography leading to several new applications which would not have been otherwise possible with the conventional film based radiography. Use of these techniques have also made possible the utilization of low strength neutron sources and thus help bring out neutron radiography from the premises of nuclear reactors. At the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Bombay, India, we have made attempts to exploit these developments in imaging technologies and develop new applications. This paper presents an overview of such developments being carried out at BARC.
