Popis: The CLP (containment liner plate) of a nuclear power plant protects the internal system from the external environment and sudden changes in internal pressure or temperature, and it is a structure that blocks and protects radioactive materials leaking inside and outside in the event of a nuclear accident and is composed of a liner plate, reinforcing bars, tendons, and concrete. Recently, corrosion on the rear side of the liner plate and concrete voids has emerged as a severe defect in nuclear power plants across South Korea. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a new inspection method that a line-type inspection method applied phased array ultrasonic testing and the area inspection method applied acoustic resonance method using developed moveable tapper. The acoustic signals were signal-processed and reproduced to a mapping image following the inspection area, and with the image, it was possible to determine the type of defect. Furthermore, an automated inspection system for within the CLP was proposed.
