Paper Summary

The article discusses efforts to improve the reliability of eddy current inspection for VVER steam generator tubes in Ukraine. Eddy current testing has advantages over previous methods but has shown to be unreliable at times, leading to unplanned shutdowns at nuclear power plants. The focus is on enhancing the accuracy of inspections to prevent leaks in steam generator tubes.
