A non-destructive inspection system includes: a neutron emission unit 12 capable of emitting neutrons pulsed; a neutron detector capable of detecting the neutrons emitted from the neutron emission unit and penetrating through an inspection object; a storage unit storing attenuation information indicating a relationship between a material of the inspection object and attenuation of the neutrons; and a calculation unit capable of calculating distance information indicating a position of a specific portion in the inspection object in accordance with time change information which is information on a change over time in an amount of the neutrons detected by the neutron detector. The calculation unit is capable of generating information related to an amount of the specific portion from information based on the amount of the neutrons according to the time change information, using the distance information and the attenuation information.

A deterioration diagnosis device according to an example aspect of the present invention includes: a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The processor performs operations. The operations include: acquiring an image including a portion to be diagnosed in a structure; calculating, by using the image, deterioration degree that is a degree of deterioration of the portion; calculating reliability for the deterioration degree based on imaging information that is information related to capturing of the image; and outputting the deterioration degree and the reliability in association with each other.

A non-destructive inspection system 1 includes a neutron radiation source 3 capable of emitting neutrons N, and a neutron detector 14 capable of detecting neutrons Nb produced via an inspection object 6a among neutrons N emitted from the neutron radiation source 3. The neutron radiation source 3 includes a linear accelerator 11 capable of emitting charged particles P accelerated; a first magnet section 12 including magnets 12a and 12b facing each other, the magnets 12a and 12b being capable of deflecting the charged particles P in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of emission of the charged particles P from the linear accelerator 11; and a target section 13 capable of producing neutrons N by being irradiated with the charged particles P that have passed through the first magnet section 12.

A gauge is provided for measuring one or more characteristics of a construction material such as a road surface. The gauge includes a detector, a base that carries the detector, and a source housing carried by the base and defining a shield material circumferentially extending inwards. A source rod is positioned within the housing and carries a source that is translatable between a shielded position within the housing and a measuring position external of the housing. The source rod has a source shield on the top thereof and a shield material spaced-downwardly from the source such that the source is completely enclosed when contained within the base.
