Abstract

A non-destructive inspection system includes: a neutron emission unit capable of emitting neutrons having a first neutron dose; a neutron detection unit capable of detecting a second neutron dose of neutrons scattered inside an inspection object A by the emission of the neutrons from the neutron emission unit; a gamma-ray detection unit capable of detecting a gamma dose of gamma rays released from the inspection object A by the emission of the neutrons from the neutron emission unit; and an analysis unit configured to calculate a content of a predetermined substance based on the gamma dose and correct the content of the predetermined substance based on the first neutron dose and the second neutron dose.
