This article discusses the problem of ensuring the control of the state and strength of the device for handling radioactive materials at nuclear power facilities and proposes the development of a remote ultrasonic control system for continuous-periodic monitoring of the state of critical structural elements of the service traverse operating in a radiation hazardous environment. The basic principles of processing the results of ultrasonic flaw detection and obtaining characteristics are given.
