Description
The French Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (Atomic Energy Commission) developed two new non destructive control techniques, focused ultrasonics and multi-frequency eddy currents, which have been shown to allow a better detection and characterization of defects. We present here some of the in-service inspection devices which have been designed for field application of these techniques on the PWR reactors built by EDF, inspection devices of the PWR steam generator tubing and the now developing specific device for main tank and helicoidal tubing steam generator of Super-Phenix 1

Le Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique a developpe deux techniques originales de controle non destructif, les ultrasons focalises et les courants de Foucault multifrequences, qui sont capables de detecter et de mieux caracteriser les defauts. Ces deux techniques presentees par ailleurs, ont ete utilisees dans les materiels qui sont decrits ici. On examine successivement les dispositifs d'inspection en service des cuves de reacteurs REP adaptes au programme electrogene d'EDF, les ensembles d'inspection des tubes de generateurs de vapeur pour ces memes centrales, le dispositif en cours de developpement pour l'inspection des cuves de Super-Phenix 1 et le materiel d'inspection des generateurs de vapeur a tubes helicoidaux de Super Phenix 1Files
