Check valves: Oak Ridge's new diagnostics

Check valves are acclimated abundantly in nuclear ball affirmation systems and balance-of-plant systems. Their failures acquire resulted in cogent aliment efforts and, on occasion, blow to added breeze adjustment components. These failures acquire abundantly been attributed to acid abasement of centralized locations constant from alternation (flutter) of assay valves below acclimatized ball operating conditions. During the abide 5 years, assay valves acquire acclimatized added assimilation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the nuclear adeptness industry.

In abutment of the NRC Nuclear Ball Aging Research (NPAR) diplomacy and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Advanced ...
