Bricks non-destructive simulation testing method utilizing neutron radiography facility based on a 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction by Jacob G. Fantidis, Athanasia Κ. Thomoglou, Maristella Ε. Voutetaki, Bassam Tayeh, George Nikolaou

“…This manuscript uses non-destructive testing to generate three-dimensional radiographs of three different brick structural materials: glass block, magnesia-chrome, and lead to evaluate their capability to withstand fast neutrons and gammas emitted from a source. When neutrons with thermal or epithermal spectrum are required, the optimum combination for an accelerator was simulated using a 2.8 MeV proton beam on a lithium target. …”
