AbstractAbstract
[en] Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) on welds of reactor internals is one of the most important issues in nuclear plants since 1990's. Demands to inspect the reactor internals are increasing. This paper focuses on the development and the application of the phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) for the reactor internals located in Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) vessel bottom head (e.g., shroud support). The Toshiba PAUT technologies and technique has been developed and applied to in-Vessel inspections (IVIs) as our universal nondestructive testing (NDT) technologies. Though it was difficult to detect and size cracks in Alloy 182 welds (i.e. weld metal of the shroud support and a CRD stub tube), the efficiency of the PAUT techniques is shown in recent IVI activities. For example the PAUT techniques are applied to crack depth sizing in the weld between the CRD stub tube and RPV bottom build-up in recent years. An immersion technique by the PAUT enables to perform the UT examination on a complex geometric surface to be inspected. The PAUT techniques are developed to detect and size flaws on the shroud support Alloy 182 welds. The techniques include detection from the outside and the inside of RPV. These techniques are applied to the simulated shroud support mockups with SCC-simulated flaws. The examination result is proven to have a good agreement with their actual. As a result, the efficiency of the PAUT techniques is confirmed. (author)
