Abstract
A non-destructive inspection systemincludes a neutron detecting unitand an arithmetic unit. The neutron detecting unitincludes a collimatorand a neutron detectorintegrated together. The collimatorhas a wall defining a through passage P. The wall is made from a material that absorbs neutrons produced via an inspection object. The neutron detectoris capable of detecting neutrons that have passed through the collimator. The arithmetic unitgenerates information on a position and composition of the inspection object, based on information on the neutrons detected by the neutron detector, positional information indicating the position of the neutron detecting unit, and posture information indicating the posture of the neutron detecting unit. The positional information and the posture information are detected by a position and posture detecting unit
