Title: Automated Non-Destructive Testing Array Evaluation System

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/837752· OSTI ID:837752

Utilities perform eddy current tests on nuclear power plant steam generator (SG) tubes to detect degradation. This report summarizes the status of ongoing research to develop signal processing algorithms that automate analysis of eddy current test data. The research focuses on analyzing array probe data for detecting, classifying, and characterizing degradation in SG tubes.
