In inspection system for inspecting the interior of a steam generator includes, in one aspect, a first boom and a second, telescoping boom having a proximal end pivotally attached to the first boom and a distal end bearing a delivery capsule, the delivery capsule defining a storage bay. The inspection system includes a first robotic inspection vehicle dimensioned to fit in the delivery capsule storage bay and itself defines a storage bay. The first robotic inspection vehicle includes at least one inspection camera and at least one lighting system. The first robotic inspection vehicle further includes cabling connecting the first robotic inspection vehicle to the delivery capsule. The inspection system also includes a second robotic inspection vehicle dimensioned to fit in the first robotic inspection vehicle storage bay. The second robotic inspection vehicle includes at least one inspection camera and at least one lighting system and further includes cabling connecting the second robotic inspection vehicle to the first robotic inspection vehicle.

A reactor head inspection system for use in performing a non-destructive inspection of tubular components mounted on an interior surface of a reactor head is disclosed. The inspection system includes a movable carriage assembly including a elevation arm and an inspection device mounted at a distal end of the elevation arm. The inspection device includes a C- or U-shaped collar having an interior surface of sufficient interior dimension to enable positioning of the interior surface of the collar in close proximity of an exterior surface of a tubular component and also includes a magnetic and/or eddy current sensor. A plurality of video cameras and light sources are also provided on a distal surface of the collar such that, when mounted on the elevation arm, the collar can be controllably positioned in close proximity adjacent a tubular component of the reactor head to achieve a 360 view and inspection of a surface of the tubular component.
