Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
Radiographic inspections are required for all pressure hull welds in submarines to ensure that the weld metal meets or exceeds the acceptance standards [1]. Radiography has remained the dominant weld inspection technique in the Navy because the technique is sensitive to the discontinuity types of interest and because the radiographic technique produces a permanent record of the weld inspection.
