Section: claims

1. A device for inspecting welds in nozzles of a containment vessel filled with water in a nuclear power plant comprising:a main rail;buoyancy packs attached to said main rail;a plurality of radially expandable feet attached to said main rail near each end thereof, at least three of said expandable feet radially dispersed around said main rail, each foot of said expandable feet having a snubber for gripping said nozzle to hold said device in position, rollers adjacent said snubbers on said expandable feet aiding in positioning said device in said nozzle;a plurality of at least three transducer clusters attached to said main rail and being radially extendable outward therefrom, said transducer clusters having at least three transducers in each transducer cluster, said transducer clusters being radially located at equal angles around said main rail;thrusters attached to said main rail for moving said device in said water into one of said nozzles;a first cylinder for radially extending said expandable feet to secure said device in one of said nozzles on both sides of one of said welds;a first motor controller for moving said transducer clusters along said main rail until said transducer clusters are radially inside said weld;a second cylinder radially extending said transducer cluster adjacent to said weld;a second motor controller rotating said transducer clusters adjacent said weld so that said transducer clusters send test signals to said weld and receive reflected test signals from said weld to determine condition of said weld, said transducer clusters being rotated around said main rail while sending test signals to said weld and said receiving said reflected test signals from said weld. 2. The device for inspecting welds in nozzles of a containment vessel filled with water in a nuclear power plant as recited in claim 1 wherein said device is connected to a control processing unit located outside said water, said control processing unit communicating with motor controllers connected to said thrusters to cause a movement of said device in said water, inputs being received from said device and transmitted via said motor controllers to said control processing unit.
