A previously introduced two-dimensional EMAT (Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Transducer) simulation code developed in-house at JAEA, based on both coupling/uncoupling of eddy currents and wave displacement in a non-magnetic material is analyzed against 3D numerical simulations and experimental wave displacements performed by JAPEIC. The experimental setup visualizes wave propagations along the vertical surface of a stainless steel plate using a piezoelectric sensor, while the 3D simulations were performed u...

A Two-Dimensional EMAT Code for Non-Magnetic Materials using a Coupled/Uncoupled Formulation

There is a longstanding interest to improve the in-service inspection (ISI) of nuclear power plants in general, and sodium fast reactors (SFR) in particular. With the goal of improving both safety and economic performance, a risk-informed approach to in-service inspection (RI-ISI) has therefore been earmarked for future commercialscale SFR. A reliable RI-ISI, however, can only be established based on a rich operational experience record. For long, JAEA has compiled information about SFR troubles, but u...
