ECT array probe applications bring important speed improvements and cost benefit in a number of NDT applications in the nuclear industry. ECT arrays also greatly simplify the surface inspection of parts with complex shapes. This paper reviews the general capabilities and potential benefits of ECT array probes and discusses the application of the technology to various nuclear applications: Steam Generator tubes, Turbine components (bore, blade, retaining ring), and RPV weld
