Overview and status of EPRI MOV Test Program

  • 1. Electric Power Research Institute, Palo Alto, CA (USA)
  • 2. MPR Associates, Inc., Washington, DC (USA)

Description

An Electric Power Research Institute Motor Operated Valve (MOV) Test Program is being developed to assist utilities in demonstrating MOV operability as required by Nuclear Regulatory Commission Generic Letter 89-10. The definition of the required program has involved evaluating the key factors affecting MOV performance and determining the range of MOV types and applications in US nuclear power plants. It is found that there are a significant number of key factors and that the MOV population is large and diverse. Prototype testing of each piece of MOV hardware may not be desirable; rather, application of test data to groups of valves is expected to be the preferred approach
