NDI inspects to save lives

Airman 1st Class Jared Grove, 18th Equipment Maintenance Squadron nondestructive inspection technician, uses a special solution to remove a fluorescent chemical from a piece of equipment at Kadena’s NDI lab, May 11. Once the piece of equipment is dry and placed under a black light, the part will glow in any areas that are cracked, which can allow technicians to find the defects more easily. Using techniques like this one can ensure the safety of the Airmen who use them during Kadena’s many on-going missions without destroying the equipment.
