Zhimin Zhong, Dengming Gu, Xinyu Dong, Qie Kong · The Proceedings of the International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE) · 2019
With the development of 3D Laser scanning technique, it has been widely used in the maintenance activities in nuclear power plants. This paper will briefly introduce the measurement method and its working process of 3D laser scanning firstly. Some of current 3D laser scanner, which have been used in China nuclear power plants, will be compared and discussed in detail. After that, some of challenges and factors, which affect the scanning data quality, in accuracy and precision, were discussed and some working experience were introduced.Then, some of 3D laser scanning applications , such as its application in training and pre-job briefings,component sizing and measurements, 3D modelization, design modifications, aging management and asset management, radiation information display and others applications will be discussed case by case. The trend of development of 3D laser scanning technique and its applications in nuclear power plant operation and maintenance managements will be discussed also. We believed that its will play an more and more important role in nuclear power plant operation and maintenance, information visualization and asset management.
