World Leader in Design, Manufacture and Service Support for BWR and PWR MSIV’s

-Involved in Government and Commercial Nuclear Power for over 50 yrs
-Manufactured key safety related valves installed at Shippingport
-Supplied valves for the first US Naval Nuclear Reactors
-Supplied valves to most PWR and BWR sites in the U.S.
-Key Valve supplier in European and Asian Nuclear Reactors
-UK, France, China, Korea, Japan

-Industry renowned brands, each with a reputation for quality
-An extensive global installed base of nuclear valve products
-Growing an impressive base on the Gen III+ reactor design
-Actively working with SMR and Gen IV manufacturers for future valve requirements

-The Main Steam Isolation Valve is a quick closing design for high‐pressure steam service.
-The Main Steam Isolation Valve is normally held open by air pressure applied to the air‐actuating cylinder, spring closing on failure of air supply.
-An oil dashpot with adjustable metering valves controls the closing speed for BWR applications.
-It is a wye pattern type valve complete with actuator and accessory equipment. The valve is actuated with an air cylinder operator (air‐to‐open, air and/or spring to close).

-MSIV's are designed to close quickly and seal tightly on the main steam line
coming off the reactor vessel (BWR) and main steam line of the steam generator on (PWR).

-The designs are different between a Boiler Water Reactor (BWR) and a Pressure Water Reactor (PWR)

-The valve is designed to fail closed within 3 to 5 seconds when tripped.

BWR

• 45 degree body seat with a 45.5‐46 degree poppet seat
• Smaller upper structure with more springs
• Nose guided poppet
• Liners‐ Only at Nine Mile Unit 1, Oyster Creek & Tarapur‐ India
• Seat rings‐ Only at Nine Mile Unit 1, Oyster Creek & Tarapur‐ India
• Air spring closure
• LLRT Requirement‐ General 11 scfh original requirement/ per valve
• Some inboard /outside valves may be rolled up to 30 degrees
• Dashpot speed controlled

PWR

• Flat poppet and body seat
• Larger upper structure with less springs
• Skirt Seals
• Articulated Pilot Poppet
• Spring alone closure
• No LLRT requirement, valve is in secondary system
• Metered air speed controlled

1. Design guided poppet (BWR only)
2. Stabilized poppet design (BWR & PWR)
3. Welded floating pilot poppet (BWR & PWR)
4. Anti-rotation main and pilot poppet’s (BWR & PWR)
5. Second bushing in the cover (BWR)
6. Live loaded packing with out/leak-off (BWR & PWR)
7. One piece forged anti-rotation stem (BWR & PWR)

-Original installation of (8) Rockwell Edwards 24" MSIV's, Drawing # PD‐ 421544 Rev. R on Unit II
-Trillium Flow Technologies^™ installed /A&M internals into Unit II
-Experience from Unit I A&M valves led to major factor in modifying to
A&M design in Unit II
-We have modified six valves total to date with the remaining two scheduled for Spring 2017
-Modification includes Poppet stabilization, Nose Guided Poppet and One Piece Stem' LLRT results from six modified MSIV's:
-Valve Year Modified As left LLRT Result (SCFH) Year of Next LLRT As Found Result (SCFH)

-Trillium Flow Technologies^™ Engineering Perform Equivalency / Reconciliation of Rockwell Edwards 24” MSIV’s Design
-Evaluate Existing MSIV Internal Mapping Data
-Reverse Engineer Rockwell Edwards Spare Parts
-Perform Plant Walk Downs for MSIV Locations
