| Welding Inspections in Reactor and Fuel Cycle Installations Welding in reactor and fuel cycle installations is subject to inspection in each fabrication and construction stage. Those installations cannot be used until such inspections take place. NUSTEC is authorized to check the integrity of welding in research reactor installations and advanced power reactor installations in the R&D stage, as well as fuel cycle facilities. The inspections are made by confirming materials and welding records, as well as carrying out nondestructive and pressure testing. |
