3. Changes in design and manufacturing: impact on NDT and NDE
The non-exhaustive review of in-service inspection carried out on the primary and secondary main circuits shows that feedback is an essential complement to design files and end-of-manufacture status.
At the start-up of the nuclear units, this feedback was limited and was enriched with the acquisition of observation facts(9).
feedback has developed into an essential tool for nuclear safety, through the collection, centralization, prioritization and systematic processing of anomalies, non-conformities and incidents, as well as the exchange of information between operators and safety authorities worldwide. In France, EDF, with its fleet of standardized nuclear reactors, boasts a wealth of experience that is unique in the world.
Naturally, any damage observed was passed on to designers and manufacturers. Subsequent stages...
