Non-destructive inspection device and non- destructive inspection system
A non-destructive inspection system includes a non-destructive inspection apparatus and a management apparatus. The non-destructive inspection apparatus includes: a neutron emission unit capable of emitting a neutron beam; a gamma-ray detector capable of detecting a gamma ray; an apparatus case covering the neutron emission unit and the gamma-ray detector and including an opening; an outer shutter configured to open and close the opening; dose monitors each provided on the apparatus case and configured to detect a radioactive dose; an apparatus communication unit capable of transmitting apparatus information including the detected radioactive dose to the management apparatus and capable of receiving inspection permission information from the management apparatus; and an apparatus control unit configured to open the outer shutter and allows emission of the neutron beam from the neutron emission unit upon acquisition of the inspection permission information.
Below-ground computed tomography cargo inspection system and method
Described herein are a computed tomography scanning system for inspecting an object and methods incorporating the same. The system includes an imaging assembly including a frame positioned within an underground chamber below a ground surface, a platform coupled to and translatable with respect to the frame, and a stage coupled to and rotatable with respect to the platform. The platform is translatable to raise the object above the ground surface and lower the object below the ground surface when the object is on the stage. The imaging assembly also includes an X-ray source fixed with respect to the frame and configured to emit radiation that is attenuated by the object as the platform translates and the stage rotates, and an X-ray detector fixed with respect to the frame, the X-ray detector configured to detect the radiation transmitted through the object and generate a signal representative of the transmitted radiation.
IN-SITU TESTING APPARATUS FOR MATERIAL MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR UNDER NEUTRON AND X-RAY FUSION IMAGING
Provided is an in-situ testing apparatus for a material mechanical behavior under neutron and X-ray fusion imaging, belonging to that technical field of material mechanical behavior testing. The in-situ testing apparatus includes a mechanical loading test module, a positioning support module, a variable temperature loading module, an X-ray phase contrast imaging module, and a neutron imaging module. The imaging sensitivity is high by adopting X-ray phase contrast imaging. A moving base can drive spatial positions of modules such as a test cassette and a neutron imaging module. A neutron receiver and a neutron upstream emitter can be matched to the same axis, thus solving the problem that the neutron imaging module and the X-ray imaging are difficult to be integrated into one system.
