FROM CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT OF NDT TECHNIQUES IN HEAVY STEEL SECTIONS TO VALIDATION ON REALISTIC CASESTE

ABSTRACT The programme for the Inspection of Steel Components (PISC) carried out since 1974 under the auspices of the OECD (Nuclear Energy Agency) and the CEC (Joint Research Centre) is a major international effort to better assess the capability and reliability of non destructive inspection techniques and procedures for nuclear reactor structural components.
