Abstract
The method of computor tomography(CT) was applied for neutron instead of X-ray. The neutron radiography (NRG) image of samples was scanned by microphotometer to get the transmission data. This process was so time- consuming that we could not increase the number of incident angles to samples. The transmission data was processed by FACOM computor and CT image was gained. In the experiment at the Japan Research Reactor No. 4 at Tokai-mura with 18 projection angles, the resolution of paraffin in the aluminum block was less than 0.8 mm. In the experiment at Van de Graaf accelerator of Nagoya University, this same resolution was 1.2 mm because of the angle distribution of neutron beam.
This experiment is the preliminary one the facility which utilizes neutron television and video-recorder will be necessary for the next stage.
