K. Viswanathan, NEUTRON RADIOGRAPHY AND TRANSFER IMAGING TECHNIQUE FOR QUALIFICATION OF SPACE COMPONENTS, Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research, 56(5), 1997, pp. 265-271
Some of the sophisticated components like pyrotechnic devices used in
the launch vehicles and saatellites pose problems to screen them due t
o their typical configuration in which the explosive charges are encas
ed in heavy metallic enclosures. A special technique tried for the fir
st time in India for the inspection of space components has been repor
ted employing neutron radiography using accelerator based neutron gene
rator and transfer imaging method.
