In 1986 the Committee for the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) discussed the list of actions of the third phase of the Programme for the Inspection of Steel Components (PISC III) and proposed Action 4 on austenitic steel testing. Within the framework of Action 4 of the PISC III a capability study on wrought stainless steel welds has been conducted. This study used a series of 6 wrought-to-wrought stainless steel assemblies that contained a number of flaws such as intergranular stress corrosion cracks, mechanical and thermal fatigue cracks and PISC type A flaws. The diameter of these assemblies was 320 mm and the wall thickness varied between 10 and 20 mm. In total 23 teams from 10 different countries participated. In this paper the evaluation of the performance of different procedures and techniques will be discussed in detail.
