“…Regular monitoring before the initial operation or between long-term storage of spent fuel and ensure the integrity of boron-containing material properties is very important and necessary. However, commercial applications of nondestructive testing techniques in the field of spent fuel storage frame can be provided by only a few U.S. companies associated with Holtec International [4].On-site spent fuel storage frame NDT technical information and execution characteristics (or called neutron dark test) has not been reported in any public documents. Each year, about 3,000 foreign literature published on nondestructive testing technology, of which 62% belong to the ultrasonic testing, 18% belong ray detection, 13% belong to the eddy current testing, the other belonging to some of the new technologies [5].…”

Boron steel nondestructive testing is of vital importance for the industrial production of boron steel plate to guarantee the product quality and production standards. This paper proposes a new kind of boron steel nondestructive detection scheme based on neutron radiation detection. We take advantage of the interaction between neutrons and boron steel media, to check whether the content of 10B in the product is qualified, uniformity meets the requirements, and whether there is a big flaw. Nondestructive testing scheme designed in this paper, using the neutron and 10B in boron steel plate has a larger reaction cross section. By receiving and counting the mount of neutron when they go through the stainless steel plate via neutron detector, we can conclude the reduction of neutrons and then calculated the content of 10B in products. This scheme sets polyethylene reflection at the bottom of the boron steel plate, on the one hand to strengthen the neutron count that the neutron radiation detector received by the reflection effect, on the other hand, can avoid defects like the opposite side receiving brings larger device volume, maneuver and others. This design provides a feasible technology and route for boron steel plate nondestructive testing.
