Title: Remotely maintainable top-loading captive ball valve system for ICPP

Journal Article · · Transactions of the American Nuclear Society
OSTI ID:76124

A program was undertaken for the remote maintenance of valve boxes at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant. The remote adaptive features developed for a 3-in. top-loading captive ball valve have been fabricated and thoroughly tested on a prototype 3-in. valve unit located at the RRMTF. Remote disassembly/assembly has been successfully demonstrated on numerous occasions by the RSA group at WINCO. In addition, the remotely detachable valve actuator rod has also been successfully demonstrated on this prototype unit. Approximately 150 valves of several sizes with remote adaptive features based on WINCO`s prototype development by the RSA group are currently being manufactured.
