Investigation of Buddhist and Bon votive statues at the Very low power reactor VR-1

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The nuclear analytical techniques are excellent tools for the investigation in various research disciplines, i.e. cultural heritage preservation, archaeology or anthropology. Most of these radioanalytical techniques require sufficient sources of radiation. So far, neutron imaging has mostly been used at high-power neutron sources, i.e. high-power research reactors. On the other hand, small nuclear research reactors can provide more options for investigations in multidisciplinary research. Since the development of the NIFFLER neutron imaging facility in 2020, neutron imaging has been one of the nuclear analytical methods used at the very low-power research reactor VR-1 of the Czech Technical University in Prague. This paper deals with the investigation of the internal structures of Buddhist and Bon votive statues from Central Asia at the Training reactor VR-1. The experimental investigation was conducted to explore the possibilities of using neutron imaging for cultural heritage research at very low-power research reactors such as the VR-1 reactor. The results of these unique experiments clearly showed the potential of the VR-1 reactor or possibly other very low-power research reactors in neutron imaging for multidisciplinary research, which can provide important data for anthropologists, archaeologists or experts in cultural heritage preservation.
