The state-of-the-art of the radiography and tomography using X-ray and neutron radiation is described. The methods are widely used in scientific research and industry due to the high penetrating power of radiation, different mechanisms of interaction with matter, the absence of sample destruction, and spatial resolution sufficient for a wide range of applications. Radiation methods are widely used in the nuclear fuel cycle, in studying the operation of fuel cells and materials under various conditions, in flaw detection, in biology, and in other fields of science and technology.
