Abstract

See full text

A valve for controlling flow of high pressure fluid to a CRDM hydraulic latching mechanism of a nuclear reactor core. The valve includes a valve body having an inlet for receiving fluid from a fluid source, an outlet, and a dump port for dumping fluid backflow. A valve member is movable within the valve body between a first position restricting flow between the outlet and the dump port such that high pressure fluid entering the valve body through the inlet exits the valve body through the outlet, and a second position whereat the dump port is in fluid communication with the outlet such that at least a portion of any backflow fluid flowing back into the valve body via the outlet exits the valve body via the dump port.
