Description/Abstract:
THE TV-BORESCOPE PROBES FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVE-IN-REACTOR EXAMINATION OF THE PRTR ZIRCALOY PRESSURE TUBES HAVE BEEN USED TO EXAMINE THE AMOUNT OF CREEP, THE RELATIVE POSITION OF TUBES IN THE SHROUD TUBES, VISIBLE PHENOMENA (CORROSION SPOTS, MECHANICAL DAMAGE ETC) AND THE FRETTING/WEAR CORROSION MARKS. A NEW PROBE USING THE PRINCIPLES OF THE OLD ONE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED. THE PRESSURE TUBES ARE GIVING ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE AS SHOWN BY IN-REACTOR MONITORING EQUIPMENT. PHOTOS.
