New neutron radiography and tomography facility TITAN at the WWR-K reactor

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.…”

Terbium doped LiLuF4 nanocrystal scintillator-based flexible composite film for high resolution X-ray imaging

“…Radiographic screens can emit ultraviolet or visible light pulse uorescence under high-energy rays or particle irradiation, and are widely used in medical imaging, industrial computed tomography, nuclear physics and other elds. [1][2][3][4] Among them, scintillator materials play a key role in the energy conversion process, and have received extensive attention and research in recent years. For example, commercial at-panel X-ray detectors based on traditional scintillation materials, such as CsI:Tl, PbWO 4 , Bi 4 Ge 3 O 12 and Lu 1Àx Y x SiO 5 have been widely reported.…”

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.…”
