Description

Use of radiation based visualisation technologies is expanding and continuously evolving. New methodologies, new modelling approaches are being developed and introduced in practice.

Objectives

The overall objective of the CRP is to facilitate further advancement and implementation of nuclear technologies in exploration, mining, mineral, and metallurgical industries. Specifically, targets to be addressed will include safety, cost, and availability of nuclear technologies, as well as knowledge transfer with a particular focus on developing Member States.

Specific objectives

to facilitate further development and implementation of radiotracing imaging techniques with a specific targets on improved methodologies to improve accuracy, efficiency, and safety

to encourage development of new imaging systems to address new raising needs

to facilitate further development of imaging techniques based on radiation for use in process investigation and specific objects flaw detection

to facilitate development of multi-radiation (X Ray + neutrons for ex) integrated techniques for improved monitoring of complex multiphase/multicomponent systems

Impact

Throughout CRP, participating Member States have made significant advancements in nuclear-based imaging technologies applied to industry. It can be shown from the applications in plant perfomed by the member states, related to their own development of the techniques.
Malaysia, Myanmar, and Zimbabwe developed and conducted experiments on laminography that have been used for evaluations requested for industries for specific pieces.
Australia, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Korea, Indonesia, Myanmar, Ghana, Iran, and Croatia developed and explored the implementation of the computed tomography in industry (refineries), involving the applications of 2D and 3D tomography with software for imaging reconstruction.
Hungary investigated and applied positron emission tomography.
In USA the ongoing research and development on various nuclear technologies based imaging and visualization under this project have been successfully continued with new grants and financial funding from US Department of Energy; all this developments are being applied in the industry. .
This CRP fostered numerous new industrial collaborations and generated substantial output.

Relevance

This CRP has shown the involvement of the institutions with the industries, as mostly all the developments of the prototypes/systems achieved in the CRP have been tested with the support not only of the Institutions, but from the industries that have seen an important and effective way to have the last in technology at lower cost.
Considering the success achieved with this CRP in the development of these techniques, it is suitable to expect the development of the next step, the advanced ones, as the background, systems and knowledge are already set in the laboratories to keep supporting the industries.
It is worthy to mention that from this CRP, there were forty-three (43) journal publications, thirty-seven (37) conference papers and four (4) technical reports produced as a result of the various activities undertaken. Additionally, the work of this CRP has resulted in seven (7) PhD and ten (10) Master's graduates.It also has increased the collaboration between the member states for starting technical support and various exchange visits which some experts who were invited to assist in technology development.
