Concept of a Facility of Neutron Radiography and Tomography at the Research Reactor WWR-K in Almaty, Kazakhstan

Neutron-tomographic study of the structural features of a bronze mirror found in the Akterek burial complex

“…This study was carried out on the 1st horizontal channel of the WWR-K research reactor using the TITAN experimental facility [11,12]. This facility is intended for obtaining neutron radiographic images with thermal neutrons and computed tomography of samples and is similar in principle to x-ray imaging.…”

Non-destructive analysis of materials by neutron imaging at the TITAN facility

“…Wide application capability and relevance for scientific research of neutron radiography and tomography methods have become the main motivation for the build-up of a new instrument at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Almaty [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. In 2019, a new experimental station TITAN (Transmission Imaging with ThermAl Neutrons) was put into operation at the research reactor WWR-K, to conduct research on non-destructive testing of materials using neutron radiography and tomography [15][16]. The neutron radiography and tomography instrument are located in horizontal channel No.…”

A comparative study of promising filter materials for neutron imaging facilities

“…In this context, the steady trend of the development of neutron imaging instrumentation on reconstructed or updated nuclear reactors should be noted. As an example, the new well-advanced neutron imaging facilities on the IR-8 reactor (Moscow, Russia) [11], BRR reactor (Budapest, Hungary) [12], WWR-K research reactor (Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan) [13,14], LVR-15 reactor (Rez, Czech republic) [15], NCNR reactor (Gaithersburg, USA) [16] and IBR-2 high-flux pulsed reactor (Dubna, Russia) [17,18] are being put into operation. One of the features of these neutron facilities is using a collimator system that forms a neutron beam for radiography and tomography experiments.…”
