Description

Nuclear components are under strict supervision of operators and safety authorities. The Reactor Centre of the Jožef Stefan Institute decided to make an inspection of its TRIGA Mark II research reactor to verify the conditions for long-term future operation within the on-going periodic safety review. Two main inspection methods were used: ultrasonic and visual inspection. Ultrasonic inspection was selected to prove that there is no significant reduction of wall thickness anywhere in the tank. The inspection confirmed that the reactor tank has not been degraded or corroded. In the future such inspection will take place every 10 years within the periodic safety review in order to monitor every 10 years the reactor tanks condition. (author)
