Roger Lyon spent 12 years in the Royal Navy between 1960 and 1972 before embarking on an NDT career for 40 years.  He was the sitting president of EFNDT, elected in Gothenberg, Sweden.  Roger had been active in the British Institute of NDT, starting off in the PCN Technical Committee and then as Chairman of the Certification Advisory Board, Chairman of the Certification Management Committee, Chairman of the SANDT Advisory Committee, Member of Council, Vice President, President Elect, President, Member of the Industry Committee, MQ&E, ECWG, Executive COmmittee, EFNDT and BINDT/ICorr Policy Group.
 

Since 1986 INTECH NDE, a privately held company with offices in Edmonton, Alberta and Richmond, British Columbia, has built a reputation for meeting our customer's needs by developing successful alliances with the world's top quality-conscious manufacturers of inspection and NDE products.

INTECH NDE is pleased to announce that we have opened a new location in Oakville, Ontario to better serve our customers in Eastern Canada. Our office is located at 1200 Speers Road, Unit 48, Oakville. This new office encompasses the same ideals that have contributed to our success in our other locations. It has been a pleasure to work with our existing customers directly in their territory. Since opening in July we have rapidly built up our customer base by meeting with new customers, discussing their requirements and helping them overcome the inspection challenges they face.

Our mission remains the same -  to position ourselves as the "first choice" partner for any company implementing or expanding an inspection program or service. Our goal is to contribute to our Industry through our collective skills and knowledge and to commit to the success of our customers while, at the same time enhancing our company, our employees and our community. Our promise is to provide our customers with dependable products, exceptional service and technical expertise.

• Powerful and unique nondestructive testing method which was first developed soon after the discovery of the neutron in the 1930s. As a viable tool for industrial NDT, N-ray has existed since at least the 1950s; however, until now, only fission reactors could provide a high enough neutron flux to produce radiographic images in a timely manner, restricting its use to a small community of NDT professionals.
• Neutron imaging works similarly to X-ray imaging. By firing a beam of neutron radiation at an object, NDT professionals can create an image of its internal structure. Neutrons interact differently with most materials compared to X-rays, though; unlike X-rays, which easily pass through light materials without penetrating denser materials, neutrons can easily pass through dense materials without penetrating lighter materials.
• Neutron imaging is ideal for the aerospace and defense industries, since there are many components that cannot be easily imaged with X-ray alone.
• The Phoenix Neutron Imaging Facility (PNIC) will be the first and as-yet only facility to offer both X-ray and neutron radiography services to NDT specialists without the need for a fission reactor
