TY - CONF A1 - Beckmann, Jörg A1 - Osterloh, Kurt A1 - Malitte, Hans-Joachim A1 - Ewert, Uwe T1 - Radiographic Imaging for Assessment of UXO, Suspected of Chemical Warfare Material T2 - Proceedings of the 8th ECNDT N2 - Radiography is a helpful method to identify the inherent structure of unexploded ordnances (UXO’s). Portable Computed Radiography (CR) systems on the basis of phosphor imaging plates , have attracted attention for NDT-applications during the last few years. A portable IP system “ACR 2000” has been tested for X-ray inspection of UXO's in the field. Digitised radiographs are presented to explain the needs and demands for a reliable characterisation of UXO's. Computed radiographs of UXO’s are compared with film radiographs exposed in the same way, to evaluate the reliability and to identify advantages and disadvantages of the CR system for UXO inspection. Film based and CR systems provide sufficient information for identification of chemical warfare agents in UXO's, which is an essential problem for explosive ordnance disposal. The advantages and the potential of the portable CR system is discussed on the basis of experiences gathered during different field trails.
