Testing It was a one hour long evening event attended by 200 people.

Faculty of Science Open Day - 10th December 2013 Theme Science & Survival – From Rails to Reactors: Ultrasound testing to prevent disasters. Two groups of 20 year 10/11 pupils spent 1 hour each doing a modified form of the undergraduate ultrasound experiment in which blocks of aluminium with concealed voids are measured to determine the location and rough dimensions of the void. They learned about NDT and how to use an oscilloscope as well as how ultrasound can be used to look for cracks and other flaws in pipework (e.g. reactor cooling systems) and other engineering such as rails.
