Abstract:
An inspection system for inspecting the interior of a steam generator includes, in one aspect, a first boom and a second, telescoping boom having a proximal end pivotally attached to the first boom and a distal end bearing a delivery capsule, the delivery capsule defining a storage bay. The inspection system includes a first robotic inspection vehicle dimensioned to fit in the delivery capsule storage bay and itself defines a storage bay. The first robotic inspection vehicle includes at least one inspection camera and at least one lighting system. The first robotic inspection vehicle further includes cabling connecting the first robotic inspection vehicle to the delivery capsule. The inspection system also includes a second robotic inspection vehicle dimensioned to fit in the first robotic inspection vehicle storage bay. The second robotic inspection vehicle includes at least one inspection camera and at least one lighting system and further includes cabling connecting the second robotic inspection vehicle to the first robotic inspection vehicle.
