Abstract
While non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of reinforced concrete structures (RCS) in civil engineering applications has a long history, as well as NDT of the pressurized (metallic) components of a nuclear power plant, testing of concrete constructions in nuclear installations has partly been neglected. At the same time there are many specific challenges to NDE that justify a dedicated international event.
The International Conference on Non-destructive Evaluation of Concrete in Nuclear Applications (NDE NucCon) was co-organized by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Aalto University, Finland, and Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), Germany. The event was sponsored by the Euratom projects ACES and PREDIS. In January 2023 about 70 participants gathered for three days in the Dipoli convention center in Espoo, Finland to listen to about 50 presentations from 15 countries, complemented by an exhibition with international instrument manufacturers and service providers.
This book includes all peer reviewed manuscripts submitted to the conference. The reader will find a large variety of subjects from basic research, new inspections methods and case studies in actual facilities. We, the organizers m hope you will enjoy the read.
