Congressional Adds
Abstract
Neutron radiography (N-ray) is a critical nondestructive inspection technique used to complement X-ray. N-ray and X-ray are used to detect defects and proper assembly of a variety of energetics, including Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PADs). The US Navy intends to continue to employ neutron radiographic inspection to support energetics programs for the foreseeable future. Historically, nuclear reactors have been the only sources to perform high quality, high throughput neutron radiography. The energetics supply chain has been heavily reliant on a single commercial nuclear reactor that has been operating since the 1950s with closure imminent This congressional add allows research and development to provide a site survey and preparatory improvement of facilities to support a high energy ion accelerator capability. *PHASE I of N-Ray Congressional Add is located under PE: 0605518N CONVENTIONAL PROMPT STRIKE (CPS).
