Abstract EN
Wind turbines are becoming widely used as they are an environmentally friendly way for energy production without emissions; however, they are exposed to a corrosive environment.
In addition, as wind turbines typically are the tallest structures in the surrounding area of a wind farm, it is expected that they will attract direct lightning strikes several times during their operating life.
The purpose of this paper is to show that the radiography with a transportable unit is a solution to find defects in the wind turbine blade and reduce the cost of inspection.
A transportable neutron radiography system, incorporating an Sb–Be source, has been simulated using the MCNPX code.
The simulated system has a wide range of radiography parameters.
