Abstract
A thermal neutron radiography unit using the neutrons which emits a 10 MeV electron linac compact has been designed and simulated via MCNPX Monte Carlo code. The facility was carried out for an extensive range of values for the collimator ratio L/D, the main parameter which describes the quality of the produced radiographic images. The results show that the presented facility provides high thermal neutron flux; while with the use of single sapphire filter fulfills all the suggested values which characterize a high quality thermal neutron radiography system. A comparison with other similar facilities indicates that the use of a photoneutron source using a 10 MeV electrons beam is a useful substitutional for radiographic purposes.
期刊介绍：
The scope of Majlesi Journal of Electrcial Engineering (MJEE) is ranging from mathematical foundation to practical engineering design in all areas of electrical engineering. The editorial board is international and original unpublished papers are welcome from throughout the world. The journal is devoted primarily to research papers, but very high quality survey and tutorial papers are also published. There is no publication charge for the authors.
