Title: Non-Destructive Testing methods used at a nuclear power plant.
Post by: say78 on Sep 18, 2011, 07:11
Hello. I am working on a Structural Materials class project in which I would like to review Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods used at a nuclear power plant.  My focus is on nuclear reactors Gen II and Gen III (+).  I researched the topic on the internet and found reference to different techniques. I'd appreciate your input on which NDT methods are actually being used and/or preferred by the professionals in the field to monitor structural integrity of a nuclear reactor components and why.

ANS is awesome for this stuff.

NDT-ed.org has a wealth of information on its website. I can see myself spending all my time out there in the near future.
You both have been very helpful! Thank you very much!
