Zusammenfassung:	An inspection apparatus (130) for inspecting jet pump beams (86) of nuclear reactors (10) is provided. The inspection apparatus includes a base (132) straddlingly mountable on a jet pump beam. The base includes a beam bolt opening (142) sized to receive a jet pump beam bolt (94). A first transducer holder (148) is coupled to a first side portion (134) of the base, and a second transducer holder (150) is coupled to a second side portion (136) of the base. The first side portion is opposed to the second side portion. Each holder includes an adjustment cylinder (164, 166) configured to contact the jet pump beam when activated.
