The role of the head organization in it was assigned to the NRIII. The association also included the Special Design Bureau for X-ray Equipment, the Mosrentgen, Kontrolpribor and Zaporizhzhya Flaw Detection Experimental Plants.

Organization of a computer room for the purpose of large-scale development of computer technology and its implementation in the progressive development of non-destructive testing. Industrial computed tomography has become one of the main areas of the institute. Extensive work was carried out for the right to hold the 10th World Conference on Tax Code in the USSR

Visit to the Research Institute of Introscopy and a demonstration exhibition by the director of the Institute of Electrical Welding named after E.O. Paton, Chairman of the scientific council on the problem "New welding processes and welded structures" (under the State Committee of the USSR Council of Ministers for Science and Technology), academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences Paton B.E. in order to familiarize with scientific developments and their implementation in industry

The publishing house "Engineering" published the first 2nd volume reference book "Devices for non-destructive testing of materials and products", prepared by a team of authors (employees of the Research Institute of Introscopy) under the mentorship of Klyueva V.V. The reference book contains the main results of the research and development work of the Institute in all areas of non-destructive testing over the past 11 years.

 Preparation of documentations, testing and sale of the device SN-30AF (for controlling the homogeneity of rubber mixtures) of the Anglo-American company Monsanto under an optional (license) agreement.

The device made it possible to inspect the quality of rubber mixing ingredients at an early stage in the formation of rubber products (for example, pressure hoses for spacemen to go into space). Production of a batch of devices SN-30AF (140 pcs). At the request of the Ministry of Oil and Gas Industry of the USSR to equip all rubber enterprises.

A set of tasks has been launched to standardize non-destructive testing methods and tools in all areas, including terms and definitions, methods (general requirements), instruments (general requirements), flaw detectors, thickness gauges, etc.

In the period from 1978 to 1985, more than 50 state standards which govern the requirements for equipments, materials and technologies were developed and put into practice . In the  second versions of the reference books  “Devices and systems for measuring vibration, noise and shock” was published

Creation of a full-fledged exhibition center for demonstrating promising developments and solving the most important tasks of the main industries. The beginning of automation and robotization of non-destructive testing.

Preparation, organisation and holding of the 10th International Conference on Non-Destructive Testing at the Moscow Center for International Trade, Scientific and Technical Relations with Foreign CountriesThe event was attended by over 90 countries. At the exhibition from the USSR, more than 100 devices were presented. Edited by Dr. Tech. sciences., prof. V.V. Klyuev in the publishing house "Engineering" published a guide in 2 volumes "Testing equipment"

At MPEI, SZPI, MGUPI, MIREA, with the assistance of NRII, specialized departments were created for the training of engineers on non-destructive testing and Introscopy in the higher education system. Currently, students are taught at 11 universities of the country in the specialty 01/20/02 named "Devices and methods of quality control and diagnostics"Development and large-scale testing of the country's first VT-300 series of industrial computed tomographs. The publishing house "Energoatomizdat" published a book called "Methods and devices for electromagnetic control of industrial products" (V. G. Gerasimov, V. V. Klyuyev, V. E. Shaternikov)

During 1984, the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Academician A.P. Alexandrov. Having convinced himself of the potential of NRII, Academician Aleksandrov personally recommended the institute to solve the tasks of the Union scale, which were successfully implemented in following  years.Development and creation of the country's first magnetic flaw detector-projectile for automated in-line diagnostics of oil and gas pipelines (KOD-2 system).The beginning of work on the creation of an automatic non-destructive testing lines for the quality of hot-rolled pipes of mills 30-102 and 140 of the Pervouralsky Novotrubny Zavod (1984-1987). Rolled products with a thickness of up to 12 mm were controlled at a speed of 3 m / s.The composition of the line included induction and flux-probe flaw detectors, a magnetic structuroscope, optical meters for pipe diameter and length, an electromagnetic acoustic thickness gauge, and all the necessary multi-ton means of mechanization and automation of control. Similar control lines were created for the factories of Magnitogorsk, Mariupol, Karaganda and Dnepropetrovsk.

Beginning of the implementation of a set of tasks to create instruments for ensuring the quality of structural elements and, above all, thermal protection of the Buran space system. The work was carried out until the successful launch of the Buran in 1988.

Development of optical automated systems for in-line inspection of long pipes. Destination systems for identifying the following pipe wall defects:- defects formed during the manufacture of pipes: delamination, sunsets, inclusions, defects of longitudinal welded joints;- defects formed during the construction of the pipeline: risks, seizures, dents, corrugations,- defects in welded joints;- operational defects: external and internal corrosion, fatigue cracks in the pipe body and welded joints due to low-cycle loading.A modernized low-dose fluorograph FSTs-U-01 was developed and put into operation, which allows a mass fluorography of the patient’s chest in a standing position, in a direct, lateral and oblique projections, as well as for performing cranial images and a number of other studies

On the basis of scientific councils of the USSR Academy of Sciences “Automated Testing and Diagnostic Systems” and “Non-Destructive Physical Testing Methods”, the USSR Society for Non-Destructive Testing was created. In September 1989, the Constituent Congress of the OSNK was held, which adopted the Charter and approved the organizational structure of the Company. Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, General Director of MSIA “Spectrum” V.V. Klyuev was elected President of OSNK
