The indirect method neutron radiography was used where the object and a metal foil converter are irradiated by neutrons, the metal foil is activated by the neutrons, and the activated image is transcribed to the imaging plate (IP) after the irradiation. And the image on the IP was read with an IP scanner. Neutron irradiation test was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the characteristics of the IP scanner and the obtained image.
