<description xml:lang='en' descriptionType='Abstract'>The  purpose  of  this  work  is  the  optimization  of  a  transportable  thermal  neutron 

radiography system. Neutrons are produced by a 50 mg 
252Cf source. The design was optimized 
with  respect  to parameters  related with  thermal  neutron  radiography  and  shielding. Owning  to 
the  special  collimator  design,  it was  possible  to  optimize  the  neutron  radiography  parameters, 
while the use of advanced shielding materials reduced the weight and the volume of the unit. The 
unit  was  compatible  with  the  European  Union  Directive  on  ‘Restriction  of  Hazardous 
Substances’ (RoHS) 2002/95/EC and imulated using the MCNPX code.
