The UK nuclear inspection industry has invested heavily over 40 years in developing inspection technology and training personnel. This includes support for new technique development from both industry and government. The UK's investment has made it a world leader in nuclear inspection technology. Doosan Babcock provides integrated inspection solutions around the world, drawing on expertise gained from inspections done in numerous countries. It tests inspection systems using realistic mockups before applying the systems at actual plant sites. All inspections are qualified following standards like ENIQ to ensure reliable defect detection.

8. Confidence through ENIQ
European Network For
Inspection Qualification
Appropriate assessment of an
NDT system giving reliable
confirmation it is capable of
achieving the required
performance under real conditions.
Our inspection qualification
commences with agreement of the
required defect detection and
sizing targets with the client and
regulator.

10. Testing on Mock Ups
Our inspection systems are tested
on test pieces containing realistic
defects and representing access.
Test pieces designed to provide
validation of inspection system.
Ensures effective preparation
before application on site.
Testing includes training on these
test pieces.
Enabling young engineers to train
in a safe environment.
e.g. Inspection systems for Atucha
Argentina.

11. Compliance with National Regulators
All countries have different
regulatory requirements.
ENIQ is a framework which can be
adapted to meet local needs.
AMEC and Doosan Babcock have
25 years of experience using ENIQ
which has enabled to them to
provide Qualification and
Inspection support throughout the
world under different regulatory
regimes.
