Description
Conventional methods for inspecting the condition of steam generators and for removing sludge deposits are inadequate. A robotic device, CECIL (Consolidated Edison Combined Inspection and Lancing system), was developed to increase the quality of PWR steam generator tube bundle inspection while at the same time improving the capability for removal of sludge. Recent field testing of CECIL at Consolidated Edison Company's Indian Point Unit 2 has demonstrated the feasibility of fully robotic inspection, sampling, and cleaning of steam generators while reducing radiological exposures normally associated with such activities
