Testing of acoustic cameras to detect leakage through a concrete structure

| 2026:1189 | Fredrik Tropp, Gabriella Wölfinger and Johanna Spåls, Ringhals AB
The purpose of the project was to see how well the acoustic cameras worked on a concrete containment with known leakage through the structure.
2026-1189

The acoustic cameras were tested by personnel from Ringhals NPP with earlier experience from using acoustic camera during containment leak rate test. The main result is that you should not relay entirely on the camera. A combination of camera and leak spray is recommended.

    Gap formation between steel liner and cylinder wall in reactor containment buildings

    The reactor containment building is the most important safety barrier in a nuclear power plant. It is a cylindrical, prestressed concrete structure with an embedded steel liner on the inner face of the containment wall, designed to maintain integrity in the event of an internal accident.

    Methods for detection of rebar in nuclear concrete structures

    This project has reviewed non-destructive methods for detecting reinforcement in concrete structures and clarified which tasks can be performed by technically skilled in- house personnel and when specialist support is required.
