Makoto Ochiai, Ph.D. Director, Corporate Laboratory, Toshiba Corporation President, JSNDI Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing toward carbon neutrality is a major global challenge for the energy industry. While fossil fuel plants must operate more efficiently, renewable energy and nuclear power play essential roles in a sustainable future. Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of these facilities is increasingly important. This presentation introduces advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies that support reliable power generation. Topics include drone-based inspection and image analysis for renewable energy facilities, SLAM-UT and AI-based crack sizing for nuclear plants, and data integration initiatives aligned with NDE 4.0. These innovations help enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability across diverse power systems.
