Radiographic testing is a nondestructive inspection technique which uses penetrating radiation. The Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Section at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has a broad spectrum of equipment and techniques for radiographic testing. These resources include low-energy vacuum systems, low- and mid-energy cabinet and cell radiographic systems, high-energy linear accelerators, portable x-ray machines and radioisotopes for radiographic inspections. For diagnostic testing the NDE Section also has real-time and flash radiographic equipment.

A report is given of radiographic inspections to estimate the extent of corrosion and scale buildup at the Geothermal Test Site in Calipatria, California. Radiation exposure techniques using 6°Co and 192Ir isotopes were developed. Radiography safety procedures were established. Five radiographic evaluations were made of the Geothermal Test Site from May 1976 to February 1977. Estimations of scale buildup from radiographs of operating plant pipes, valves, and tanks correlated closely with our actual scale measurements from used plant sections.

While books on the medical applications of x-ray imaging exist, there is not one currently available that focuses on industrial applications. Full of color images that show clear spectrometry and rich with applications, X-Ray Imaging fills the need for a comprehensive work on modern industrial x-ray imaging. It reviews the fundamental science of x-ray imaging and addresses equipment and system configuration. Useful to a broad range of radiation imaging practitioners, the book looks at the rapid development and deployment of digital x-ray imaging system.
