Acoustic emission experience in the CEGB
Description
Experience is reviewed with the applications of acoustic emission testing in the U.K. in crack detection on Magnox reactor pressure vessels, in leak detection, mostly on boiler tubes in AGR power plants, this both on-load and off-load plants, and in the detection of mechanical impact and/or rubbing of component parts in fuel channels of an advanced gas-cooled reactor. This last named testing can only be performed with the plant off-load. (L.O.). 6 figs., 8 refs
