Inspection of equipment...
The main components of the reactor coolant system (reactor vessel, steam generators) are hard to access and are inspected by remote-controlled robots. This type of examination makes it possible to limit exposure to radiation and thus limits the dosimetry of the inspection teams.

Various tests, carried out -at regular intervals- in a nuclear plant, during a planned outage (in-service inspections), have for goal to monitor structural integrity over time and to facilitate timely preventive action.
