As recognized worldwide leaders in inspection technology development
and application, the EPRI NDE Program strives to support cost-effective,
reliable, and safe nuclear plant operation. To complement that vision, the
NDE Center mission is to assist utilities with application of inspection
technology solutions for managing risk, controlling cost, facilitating
regulatory compliance, and assuring equipment reliability. Therefore, the
objectives of the EPRI NDE Technology Development Program and the
NDE Inspection Technology Application and Training Program are to:
Improve NDE technology
Influence codes and regulatory bodies to develop realistic rules
Train and qualify NDE personnel
Commercialize NDE technology
To transfer the results of the EPRI NDE program efforts, EPRI invites you
to attend the 11th Annual EPRI NDE Issues Meeting, July 16-19 at The
Delta Chelsea Hotel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Member utilities will see
first-hand the results of the NDE Target products through focused
presentations. Implementation of NDE Center-developed products will be
highlighted during the poster/equipment demonstration session. Technical
areas to be covered include phased array technology, dissimilar metal weld
examinations, risk-informed inservice inspection, steam generator tube
ultrasonic examination, Virtual NDE, NDE training and more. This meeting
also will provide utility and inspection organization staff an opportunity to
contribute to the strategic plan of the EPRI NDE Target through interactive
brainstorming sessions. Ontario Power Generation, our host utility, is
planning two terrific tours for attendees. One tour will take you to the
Darlington Nuclear Station and the other will showcase the Mockup and
Training Facility at the Pickering Nuclear Station. It is imperative that you
indicate on the registration form your desire to attend one or both of these
tours.
