The goal of this article is to describe the new neutron imaging facility constructed on the 5th radial beamline of the WWR-SM research reactor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Tashkent, Republic of Uzbekistan). The neutron beam with the dimensions of 90 × 90 mm2 is formed by the collimator system, the characteristic parameter L/D is 600. The two mirror detector system is based on the 6LiF/Zn(Cd)S:Ag scintillation screen and the high-resolution ProLine PL-09000 CCD camera. The design of the experimental facility, the main parameters, and recently obtained results of the neutron radiography and tomography experiments are presented. • New neutron imaging facility constructed at the WWR-SM research reactor. • The design and main parameters of the new facility are presented. • The first neutron radiography and tomography results are presented.
