FOREWORD
Both OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (ΝΕΑ) and IAEA make
full use of the traditional methods of co-operation
through Working Groups and meetings. The IAEA Working
Group on Reliability of Reactor Pressurized Components
as well as the CSNI (OECD) Working Group on Primary
Circuit Integrity (WG No. 3) decided to organize a
specialist meeting on defects detection and sizing
owing to the importance of NDE both for quality assu­
rance in the manufacture of nuclear components and for
the safety of the operation of nuclear plants. A joint
OECD-NEA/IAEA meeting has thus been organized at Is­
pra, Joint Research Centre of the CEC which is the
Operating Agent of the PISC II programme, one of those
major international cooperative actions aiming at NDE
effectiveness assessment and improvement.
The present proceedings include the papers as submit­
ted by the authors. The conclusions of the sessions
chairmen are added; theses highlight the
major points of interest and of discussion.
Acknoledgements go to the session chairmen for organi­
zing so well several long sessions and producing con­
clusions .
