...determines whether they can be repaired. With such nonmagnetic metals as zirconium and tungsten, testers use penetrating oils to test products that are unresponsive to electromagnetic devices. Mixed with dyes that show up under ultraviolet light, the oils quickly reveal dangerous cracks in such important products as nuclear reactor components and power stations...
