Nuclear NDT UK Experience - EdF Energy UK Sizewell B – Automated Shop Inspections (ASI) of RPV Welds and Forgings The Sizewell B RPV was manufactured by Framatome during the • late 1980s and early 1990s The UK nuclear regulator required that qualified, automated UT be • applied to the RPV by an independent organisation. Babcock was selected and went on to inspect : • all of the RPV forgings (nozzle and shell forgings) • • all of the RPV seam and nozzle welds. • These inspections were subject to a programme of Performance Demonstration at the UK Inspection Validation Centre (IVC); Following the Forging ASI, Babcock was awarded contract in early • 1990s to carry out automated Pre-Service Inspections (PSI) of the RPV welds during manufacture; • This qualification process adopted for SZB formed the basis of the current ENIQ guidelines for Inspection Qualification in Nuclear industry; “ Bringing our Values to Life” Slide 9 of 22
