Abstract
A non-destructive inspection systemincludes a neutron radiation sourcecapable of emitting neutrons N, and a neutron detectorcapable of detecting neutrons Nb produced via an inspection objectamong neutrons N emitted from the neutron radiation source. The neutron radiation sourceincludes a linear acceleratorcapable of emitting charged particles P accelerated; a first magnet sectionincluding magnetsandfacing each other, the magnetsandbeing 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; and a target sectioncapable of producing neutrons N by being irradiated with the charged particles P that have passed through the first magnet section
