Abstract

An apparatus that works on the thermal-testing principle involving infrared thermal imagers of different types and optical and convective heating devices is described. The main purpose of the apparatus is to detect hidden corrosion in 1- to 2-mm-thick steel containers that are intended for temporary storage of radioactive wastes.
