A series of optimum conditions are taken into account in the construction of neutron radiography (NR) installation based on a sealed tube neutron generator capable of gnerating 10¹⁰ n/s with 14 MeV. The characteristics of NNU screens, a kind of self-made ⁶LiF•ZnS(Ag) scintillation intensifying screen are presented. Finally, some neutron radiographies taken by this NR installation and NNU screens are given.
