Resumen
Desde que comenzaron las actividades nucleares en la Argentina, la Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica (CNEA) formó un grupo técnico en metalurgia general con el objeto de realizar tareas de investigación y desarrollo en un amplio rango de sistemas y materiales. En este contexto se previó la formación de un equipo altamente calificado en ensayos no destructivos (END) para dedicarse a los problemas de inspección en reactores de investigación, centrales nucleares de potencia e instalaciones nucleares asociadas. Se describe aquí el desarrollo en este grupo de END, su organización, la asistencia técnica que recibió, el trabajo que efectuó y la responsabilidad que tomó no solo en el campo nuclear, sino también el impacto que ha tenido en el desarrollo de la capacidad nacional en la tecnología de los END. Al mismo tiempo se trata del efecto multiplicador logrado como resultado de estas actividades y la formalización de algunos de estos resultados con otras instituciones nacionales, lo que ha permitido ampliar el uso racional de los END a escala nacional con control y supervisión de todo el espectro de actividades asociadas con los END.
At the very beginning of nuclear activities in Argentina the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA) formed a general metallurgy technical group for the purpose of carrying out research and development tasks over a wide range of systems and materials. In this connection plans were made for the establishment of a highly skilled team for work on non-destructive testing (NDT) which was to devote itself to inspection problems in connection with research reactors, nuclear power reactors and associated nuclear facilities. The paper describes the development of this NDT group, including its organization, the technical assistance it has received, the work it has done and the responsibility it has assumed in the nuclear field and also its impact on the development of the country’s capacity in NDT technology. In addition, it deals with the multiplier effect achieved as a result of these activities and the formalization of some of these results in conjunction with other national institutions. All this has made it possible to extend the national use of non-destructive testing on a national scale, with control and supervision of the whole range of associated activities.
