REFERENCE NEUTRON RADIOGRAPHS ON PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER (SCALE 2:1) AND FILM (SCALE 1:1) 55 PREFACE Although the principles of radiography with neutron beams have been known for some 45 years, their practical application in industry and research is still a rather young field. Norms, standards, and common terms of reference are scarce. One of the main tasks of the Neutron Radiography Working Group (NRWG) -constituted by the Joint Research Centre Petten of the Commission of the European Communities and national nuclear research centres within the European Community -has been to fill this gap.
