Description

This paper is a review of several Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) programs. The first program involves the final stages of the development and acceptance of two advanced nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies: acoustic emission (AE) for continuous monitoring of light water reactor components and synthetic aperture focusing technique for ultrasonic testing (SAFT-UT). The second program involves the development of a program for the characterization of fabrication defects in U.S. reactor pressure vessels. This paper covers the activities on these programs over the past year
