French term or phrase: coupons
Des indications de corrosion importantes ont été identifiées et associées à celles-ci. Des coupons, au nombre de quatre, ont été prélevés par le personnel de SGS Québec sur la paroi du réacteur et ont été envoyés à différents laboratoires indépendants aux fins d'expertise. L'un de ceux-ci a été acheminé à notre laboratoire de Montréal.
