Moisture leak detection demonstration using microwave radar

Caption

ORNL researchers set up instruments to direct microwave radar toward a sample of particle board, which represents the first inside layer, or sheathing, of a building’s envelope. The test proved that this method can nondestructively detect moisture in the earliest stages of development.
