The first wall of a fusion reactor will be subjected to intensive loads during fusion operations. Since these loads may cause defects in the first wall, nondestructive evaluation techniques of the first wall should be developed. In this paper, we try to apply eddy current testing (ECT) technique to the inspection of the first wall. A method based on current vector potential and wavelet analysis is proposed. Owing to the use of wavelet analysis, a new theory developed recently, the accuracy of the present method is shown to be better than a conventional one.
