Abstract
Radiographic inspections are required for all pressure hull welds in submarines to ensure that the weld metal meets or exceeds the acceptance standards [1]. Radiography has remained the dominant weld inspection technique in the Navy because the technique is sensitive to the discontinuity types of interest and because the radiographic technique produces a permanent record of the weld inspection.
