The core of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor, which operates under extreme conditions of high temperature, high pressure, and high radiation. The failure of any critical component (such as the reactor pressure vessel, pipelines, steam generator tubes, etc.) could lead to severe consequences. As a result, the nuclear power industry imposes the highest safety requirements among all industrial sectors.

The key advantage of non-destructive testing (NDT) lies in its ability to detect defects in materials or structures (such as cracks, corrosion, wall thinning, inclusions, etc.) without damaging or compromising the functionality of the tested object. This enables a "physical examination" and "diagnosis" of the equipment's condition, which is crucial for critical components in nuclear power plants that cannot be easily replaced or repaired.

NDT technology in nuclear power represents the highest standard of industrial NDT applications, demanding utmost precision, reliability, and automation.
