Thread Inspection Manipulator for Primary Loop Components of VVER 1000/1200 Nuclear Power Plants

Marko Rušev

Abstract

HRID developed special manipulator for inspection of different size of threads (M36, M48, M52, M60, M64, M100) on nuclear power plant (VVER 1000/1200) components with eddy current and ultrasonic methods. Manipulator is extremely easy to use reducing personnel time in radiation zone significantly. 95% of all assembling and disassembling activities can be performed manually without use of any tool. It allows quick inspection of threads with both methods in fully automatic mode.
