A power cable is the most important part in a power transmission system. The cables must be total quality dedicated and certified for development, manufacturing and installation, however are exposed to a corrosive environment. The purpose of this paper is to show that the fast neutron radiography with a transportable system is a solution to find defects in the cables and reduce the cost of inspection. The design, regarding the materials considered, was compatible with the European Union Directive on "Restriction of Hazardous Substances" (RoHS) 2002/95/EC, hence excluding the use of cadmium and lead.Wide width values for the collimator ratio were calculated. With suitable collimator design it was possibly to optimize the neutron radiography parameters. Finally the shielding design was examined closely. The proposed system has been simulated using the MCNPX code.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
