ABSTRACT
The European Network for Inspection Qualification - ENIQ - is particularly concerned with underpinning the internationally recognised European Methodology for Inspection Qualification. A second pilot study, following the successful 1st pilot study with its numerous Recommended Practices, has been launched in order to explore the potential of Technical Justifications, aiming at reducing the need for expensive qualification test blocks. Following the successful work on Risk Informed ISI by the EURIS, ENIQ has re-activated the work within this field and published a discussion document on Risk Informed In-Service Inspection of Nuclear Power Plants in Europe. ENIQ groups a major part of the nuclear power plant operators and ISI vendors in the European Union. This paper reviews the latest achievements of ENIQ e.g. on ENIQ 2nd Pilot Study, an international test piece database, recommended practices, risk informed ISI and related issues
