My step brother was a welder on the Calloway, MO reactor. He said the majority of his welds were "x-rayed" for quality. He was very proud to be a welder on that job. He has been gone for a few years, the combination of fumes and cigarettes took their toll.
I have worked Calloway twice. A nice place. X-rayed welds are usually associated on the primary piping components of a safety-related system, normally the steam supply system (NSSS).
Most welders I have come to work around have a sense of ownership and pride. Each safety-related weld is stenciled with a specific welder's identification (in an area adjacent to the weld or weld joint).
