NDE that carries its basis
intelliNDT records UT, PAUT, and RT against the qualified procedure per ASME Section XI Appendix VIII, and trends wall thinning to remaining life so a flaw disposition rests on data, not memory.
Industry
The license runs 80 years. The audit takes an afternoon. Keep a record that survives both.
ISI program owners, NDE Level IIIs, and outage managers answer for every exam on a Class 1 boundary. intelliSPEC holds each result, procedure revision, and examiner qualification on one record built to 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, across fleets under NRC and IAEA regimes.

Sector record
No reviewer asks whether you inspected. They ask you to prove how.
The failure mode is rarely the exam. It is the exam nobody can trace, a missing procedure revision, a lapsed qualification, a relief basis lost to the file room.

Where it carries weight
No reviewer asks whether you inspected. They ask you to prove how.
The failure mode is rarely the exam. It is the exam nobody can trace, a missing procedure revision, a lapsed qualification, a relief basis lost to the file room.
Outage scope off the critical path
intelliTURN carries the Section XI exam scope of a refueling outage through readiness, execution, and gates, so a deferred exam surfaces with its 10 CFR 50.55a relief basis instead of vanishing into the schedule.
Fire barriers proven, not assumed
intelliFIRE tracks penetration seals, fire wraps, and barrier inspections against 10 CFR 50.48 and NFPA 805 commitments, each with photo, location, and sign-off.
Examiners current before the scan
intelliCREW checks certifications to ASNT CP-189 or SNT-TC-1A and Appendix VIII performance demonstrations before assignment, so no exam runs on a lapsed qualification.
One exam, end to end
From containment entry to the resident inspector's question.
Follow a Class 1 weld exam through an outage window.
Captured on a dose budget
An examiner enters containment with a fixed work window and no signal. intelliINSPECT runs the exam offline, stamps every reading with time, location, and examiner, and syncs at the hatch. No transcription, no second entry, no repeat dose.
The verdict, with its math
The readings land against IWB-3500 acceptance standards in intelliNDT. An indication over the limit opens a flaw evaluation, and the accept, repair, or replace call is logged with its Section XI basis in intelliINTEGRITY.
The question, answered in minutes
When the resident inspector asks for the pedigree, intelliCOMPLY exports the exam, procedure revision, examiner certification, and disposition as one Appendix B record. No file room, no reconstruction.
Proof path
The next outage window is already on the calendar.
Bring one Class 1 exam plan and we will walk the record from containment capture to the Appendix B export.

Holds ASME Section XI exam categories, 10-year intervals, and coverage per component in intelliNDT and intelliINSPECT.
02
Tracks fire barrier and penetration seal inspections to 10 CFR 50.48 and NFPA 805 in intelliFIRE.

Exports 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and NQA-1 pedigree, exam to examiner to procedure revision, as one query through intelliCOMPLY.
Answers
Nuclear questions
Does intelliSPEC support ASME Section XI in-service inspection programs?
Yes. Class 1, 2, and 3 exam scope, examination categories, and 10-year interval coverage are held per component, with each exam surfaced before it comes due and every result stored against its Section XI basis.
How does intelliSPEC handle Appendix VIII qualified ultrasonic examination?
UT and PAUT results are recorded against the qualified procedure and technique per ASME Section XI Appendix VIII, and intelliCREW holds each examiner's performance demonstration so the qualification chain is part of the record, not a separate binder.
Can intelliSPEC manage ISI scope during a refueling outage?
Yes. intelliTURN carries the outage's Section XI exam scope through readiness gates and execution, flags exams at risk of deferral, and keeps the 10 CFR 50.55a relief basis attached to anything that moves.
How do nuclear plants track flow-accelerated corrosion?
FAC susceptible piping is trended in intelliNDT with UT thickness data, wear rates, and remaining life per line, supporting programs run to EPRI NSAC-202L guidance.
Does intelliSPEC support NFPA 805 and Appendix R fire protection inspections?
Yes. intelliFIRE tracks fire barrier, penetration seal, and fireproofing inspections against 10 CFR 50.48 commitments, whether the plant licenses under NFPA 805 or Appendix R, with each finding routed to closeout.
What software do nuclear plants use for 10 CFR 50 Appendix B inspection records?
Plants need every exam, result, and corrective action captured with user, timestamp, signature, and procedure revision. intelliSPEC produces that traceability as a working record, so an NQA-1 audit is an export rather than a reconstruction.
Does intelliSPEC work for international fleets under IAEA safety standards?
Yes. The same inspection record runs across every unit, online or offline, so an operator aligned to IAEA safety standards alongside a national regulator holds one consistent standard and one audit trail per component, in any country.
