Apparatus of industrial Gamma radioagraphy in France

Author J.C. Godin - Cegelec CNDT

Gamma radiography is a method of non-destructive testing very often used in places where the access is difficult for the inspection of the materials with thickness up to 200 mm of steel or equivalent.

It consists in carrying out a radiographic film using the gamma radiation emitted by a radionuclide.

The radioactive material is permanently enclosed in a capsule. Only sealed radioactive sources in special form are used.
