OSTI ID:7231316
Although firm requirements have not yet been established in the United States for inservice inspection of LMFBR's, some initial development work on potentially applicable nondestructive testing methods has been conducted by the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory. The paper contains a synopsis of investigations conducted in each of the following areas: ultrasonic examination of austenitic stainless steel welds, electro-thermal NDT method for stainless steel components, eddy current methods for in-situ examination of heat exchanger tubes, and under-sodium viewing and ranging. Development activities and experimental results obtained to date in each of these areas are highlighted, along with comments on potential applicability for inservice inspection of LMFBR's.
