The work presented is from an on-going program directed toward measuring the effectiveness and reliability of inservice inspection (ISI) of light water reactor systems (primary piping and pressure vessel). An extensive round robin evaluation has been conducted on cracks located in 10 inch Schedule 80 stainless steel as well as centrifugally cast stainless steel and clad ferritic main coolant pipe welds. This paper reports on the probability of detection of cracks versus crack depth for these materials and the ability to size the cracks using probe motion methods.
