Seeing through metal

Written by Department of Information and Public Relations

A professional skills competition was held for the first time at the training center for specialists from the Industrial Flaw Detection and Technical Control Laboratory (IFDTCL). Our flaw detection specialists have frequently achieved success on the international stage, and now the time had come to determine the best within their own team!

The battle for the title of the best took place in two stages!

Theory: assessment of knowledge regarding physics controls, labour protection and safety standards.


Practical expertise: interpretation of a radiographic image of a control specimen.

Four of the six participants advanced to the final.

Contest Results:

1st place — Elena Moroz, a non-destructive testing engineer. Elena has proven that there are no gender barriers in a profession requiring precision like that of a jeweler!

2nd place — Maxim Pavlovsky, 6th-grade flaw detector operator.

3rd place — Nikolai Konoplev, 6th-grade flaw detector operator

The winners received certificates, trophies, and gifts from the trade union organization.

Congratulations to the winners!
