New technology revolutionizes safety and productivity in power plants.
The Nondestructive Evaluation Program was started in 1974 to improve safety and productivity in power plants by using advanced technology to inspect equipment without causing damage. The focus has been on inspecting light water reactors, but they are now expanding to other systems. The report summarizes the progress made in 1987, with detailed updates on projects related to different plant components like pipes, pressure vessels, and turbines. The goal is to share the latest advancements in NDE technology and promote knowledge exchange among industry professionals.
