Abstract

The aim of this work is to evaluate different forms to minimize the scattered radiation contribution in digital radiographic images of offshore pipelines using MCNPX simulations. The influence of oil inside the pipe, seawater surrounded the pipelines and external coating in the scattering component of the radiation beam will be analyzed. The use of backscattering shielding and lead screen will be discussed.
