Abstract :
The radiography imaging with cold neutrons is being planned at the research reactor, HANARO, at South Korea. Cold neutrons allow a high sensitivity to light elements and organic materials and easier transmission through metals and heavy elements. Also, it has potential for energy-selective imaging, micro-tomography, phase-contrast radiography, neutron polarized imaging, and dynamic imaging. Conceptual design and simulation have been performed by varying several parameters. The planed neutron radiography facility at HANARO will be competitive to the best nowadays facilities not only in its performance but also its convenience for users
