Optimization study of a transportable neutron radiography system based on a 252CF neutron source

The purpose of this work is the optimization of a transportable thermal neutron radiography system. Neutrons are produced by a 50 mg 252Cf source. The design was optimized with respect to parameters related with thermal neutron radiography and shielding. Owning to the spec...
