Versatile Non-intrusive Inspections with Maximum Coverage
GE’s Telescoping Shroud Scanner (TS2) is an extremely versatile tool for non-intrusive inspections of Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs). The remotely operated scanner performs ultrasonic inspections of both the reactor’s shroud circumferential and vertical welds from the outside diameter (OD) surface. When used in conjunction with GE’s 360-degree platform, the TS2 can perform all inspections completely independent of bridge or crane support. The TS2 can inspect welds on the shroud upper, middle, and lower barrels with a single configuration. In addition, the TS2 has a unique ability to inspect welds with extremely limited OD access caused by shroud tie-rod repairs or other plant internal modifications.
