Towards maintenance-free SOVs [solenoid operated valves]
Description
Because most solenoid operated valves (SOVs) are being used in vital safety related systems in nuclear power plants, they must be shown to perform satisfactorily over 40 years of normal service plus one year into post-LOCA. Current practice in SOV design and manufacture, as described here, aims to minimize the need for maintenance and to make it simpler when it is necessary. (author)
