Description
(This is a summary of EPRI Report NP-241.) Objective was to identify problems associated with valves in commercially operating nuclear power plants. Conclusions from forced outage data are listed. Maintenance on the valves is discussed, and the common valve modifications are described. Experience of utility personnel is summarized. Generic technical problems and their correction are discussed. Present practices for specifying and purchasing valves are summarized. The four principal conclusions of the general assessment and the resulting recommendations are listed.
