The Submarine System for Inspection (SUSI) ROV, which was developed by AREVA, is a device used for ultrasonic inspection of nuclear reactor vessel baffle bolts. The ROV’s positioning system is required to document time and exact location of each measurement taken as the ROV examines numerous bolts that hold the baffle plates together. Such positioning system must deliver an accurate performance without obstructing or slowing down the inspection procedure.
