Why the nuclear power plants need industrial endoscopes?

The main reasons for using industrial endoscopes in nuclear power plants include the following:

‌High precision and reliability requirements‌: Nuclear power plant equipment is complex and has high requirements for the precision and reliability of detection equipment. As a non-destructive testing device, industrial endoscopes can visually detect the inside of the equipment without disassembling or destroying the equipment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

‌Complex structure detection‌: The internal structure of a nuclear power plant is complex, including power systems, pipeline systems, and containers. Industrial endoscopes can be used for line detection, pipeline detection, and container detection, avoiding disassembly and venting operations in traditional detection methods, and improving detection efficiency and safety.

‌Regular inspection requirements‌: Nuclear power plant equipment needs to be regularly inspected internally to ensure its safe operation. Industrial endoscopes can be used to detect key components such as nuclear fuel elements, cooling system pipelines, and high and low pressure cylinders of steam turbines to detect and deal with defects in a timely manner and ensure the safe operation of equipment.

‌Nondestructive testing technology‌: As a nondestructive testing device, industrial endoscopes can be used for testing without damaging the equipment, avoiding the damage that traditional testing methods may cause to the equipment. They are particularly suitable for testing nuclear power equipment with high precision requirements‌4.

‌Improve work efficiency and safety‌: Using industrial endoscopes for testing can save time and manpower, avoid high-risk operations in traditional testing methods, such as manual crawling into containers for testing, etc., and improve work efficiency and safety‌

In summary, the application of industrial endoscopes in nuclear power plants has the advantages of high precision, high reliability, high efficiency and safety, and can meet the strict requirements of nuclear power plants for equipment testing.
