With over 30 years experience Phoenix has an extensive range of systems designed specifically for the nuclear sector which, when combined with our systems for the inspection of steam turbine and generators, means we can offer our customers a single source for equipment to inspect critical power plant components. Phoenix supplies NDT inspection systems to utilities and inspection providers for the pre and in-service inspection of primary circuit components, from the reactor pressure vessel through to secondary coolant loop piping and has experience in the following nuclear reactor types:

• Pressurised Water Reactors (PWR, EPR)
• Boiling Water Reactors (BWR)
• Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors (AGR)
• Fusion Reactors (ITER)

Plant Specific Applications: PWR & EPR

Phoenix produces ultrasonic inspection systems and probes for the inspection of the nozzles, pipework and specific components found on the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) and the Evolutionary Pressurized Reactor (EPR). In particular Phoenix has supplied inspection manipulators for many of the critical welds on the PWR:

Pressurized Water Reactor & Evolutionary Pressurized Reactor

	Reactor Pressure Vessel - inlet and outlet	TENIS & Maxi SAGE
	Primary circuit - Branch nozzles and Nozzle to shell welds	SWIS
	Pressuriser - spray nozzle	SIRUS
	Pressuriser - surge line nozzle	APSIS
	Steam generator hot and cold leg nozzles	Maxi SAGE
	Secondary circuit - Feedwater and main steam line welds	SAGE & EPSOM
	Steam generator - Channel head to tube sheet weld	CHIM
	Reactor head - Control rod drive mechanism (CDRM) housing	CISU
	Reactor coolant pump - Flange bolt threads and Flywheel keyway	SIM
