Abstract
An apparatus for inspecting feedwater piping in a steam generator having “J” nozzles. A camera and light source are coupled to a yoke mounted rotatable wheel adjacent the end of an elongated flexible conduit. Control cables, for rotating the wheel, extend through the yoke and the conduit and are fastened to a second rotatable wheel. Rotation of the second wheel causes rotation of the first wheel along with the camera and light source. Control cables for the camera and light source also extend through the yoke and the flexible conduit.
