Claim 10:
11. A tube weld X-ray inspection device, comprising:
an X-ray support configured to be inserted into a tube;
an X-ray source provided at a side of the X-ray support in a length direction of the X-ray support, the X-ray source being configured to emit X-rays;
an image plate fixing part configured to fix an image plate in a direction parallel to an axis of the length direction of the X-ray support while being spaced a predetermined distance from the X-ray source;
a reader configured to irradiate the image plate with an irradiation light and receive a signal light diverging from the image plate to convert the signal light into information in a form of an image; and
an initializer configured to irradiate the image plate with light to make the image plate be in a re-photographable state,
wherein the image plate is configured to absorb the X-rays and store the X-rays in a form of energy, and
wherein the initializer moves to an outside of a region for the image plate before X-ray photography, and moves to a position at which the image plate is made to be in the re-photographable state, after the X-ray photography.
