Abstract: Condensers are important equipment in the thermal cycle system of nuclear power plants and CPR1000 nuclear power units have arranged special eddy current inspection of condenser heat transfer tubes during overhaul. Through a comparative analysis on three aspects of the inspection strategy, the inspection probes, inspection plans, and inspection results, it was found that they all used shaft-wound probes, but the inspection results were handled differently. In the formulation of the inspection plan, the outer ring thick-walled titanium pipe which was prone to damage was considered, but the corresponding management of the outer ring thin-walled pipe and inner tube bundle was different. In this regard, this article proposes an inspection optimization strategy, which has a guiding role in the formulation of other units' eddy current inspection strategies to ensure the long-term safe and reliable operation of the condenser.
