EPRI Nondestructive Evaluation Center: 1986 annual report
This report describes the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Nuclear Division funded nondestructive evaluation (NDE) project activities carried out at the EPRI NDE Center in 1986. The current objective is to operate a dedicated facility for providing improved and field-qualified NDE equipment, procedures, and personnel training to the electric utility industry. The major task of the NDE Center is transfer of research and development results funded by EPRI and other related projects to useful field application. This is being accomplished by qualification and refinement of equipment and techniques, training under realistic conditions, and encouragement of greater involvement of the academic community in NDE education. Significant assistance has been provided to the nuclear utility industry under this project in the form of improved, field-ready equipment and procedures; critically needed assessments of inspection method capability; demonstrations of effectiveness of examination methods; rapid response for critical, short-term problems; and training for specific utility industry needs. These efforts have specifically addressed steam generator, piping, steam turbine, and heavy section inspection problems.
