Abstract
The baffle inspection apparatus comprises a gauging mechanism mounted on a movable support for determining the width of a gap between two adjacent baffle plates in a nuclear reactor. The gauging mechanism comprises a rotatable member with a plurality of feeler gauges disposed thereon that is capable of remotely rotating and laterally aligning each feeler gauge with the selected gap to determine the size of the gap. The apparatus may be equipped with underwater camera and lights for remotely viewing the inspection operation.
