Neutron radiography is a vital QA technique for inspection of precision parts, such as o-rings used in space missions or aircraft turbines. See a demonstration of neutron radiography techniques using distance learning mechanisms. Participants can examine various materials remotely using the UMLRR thermal neutron beam.

ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometer) is an instrument that is easy to operate and has superior sensitivity for a wide range of elements. It is also an excellent inorganic technique covering nearly all elements. NRL recently installed an ICP-OES that is available to users from other departments. A lecture will be followed by a demo of ICP-OES.
