Abstract
This paper summarizes some of the significant research and development efforts in nondestructive testing of nuclear reactor components done by various U.S. Atomic Energy Commission agencies and contractors since 1958. The methods of nondestructive testing discussed here include fuel assay, thermal testing, penetrating radiation (X-rays, gamma-rays, beta-rays, and neutrons), ultrasonics, and eddy currents. A nondestructive testing system for evaluating fuel element cores is described.
