An inspection system (500) for inspecting the interior of a steam generator includes a first robotic inspection vehicle (550) comprising a storage bay (558) and a drive system having at least one first magnetic drive member (554) on a first lateral side of the body and at least one second magnetic drive member (554) on a second lateral side of the body opposite to the first lateral side. The first robotic inspection vehicle includes at least one inspection camera and at least one lighting system. The first robotic inspection vehicle further includes cabling connecting the first robotic inspection vehicle to a remote system. The inspection system also includes a second robotic inspection vehicle (160) dimensioned to fit in the first robotic inspection vehicle storage bay. The second robotic inspection vehicle includes at least one inspection camera and at least one lighting system and further includes cabling connecting the second robotic inspection vehicle to the first robotic inspection vehicle. In a further aspect, the inspection system for inspecting the interior of a steam generator includes a first boom and a second, telescoping boom having a proximal end pivotally attached to the first boom and a distal end bearing a delivery capsule, the delivery capsule defining a storage bay for the first robotic inspection vehicle.
