Abstract
A testing device for load-testing of specimens (3) in a nuclear reactor environment is attached to one of the pipes (1) of the reactor for conveying a first medium under pressure and provides a first space (14) in open communication with the pipe (1). In the first space (14) a movable pull rod (15) is arranged, one end of which is attached to one half (16) of a specimen (3) arranged in the space (14). The other end of the pull rod (15) is joined to a tensile force device capable of being influenced by the first medium for achieving a tensile stress in the specimen (3).
