About MOV:
The Motor Operated Valve (MOV) Design Basis Course offers a combined classroom and laboratory educational experience dedicated to the functionality of Safety-Related Motor-Operated Valves under Design-Basis conditions. Since 2004, ISU has been able to establish and maintain a highly respected technical training program, initially focused on training US Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff. In response to utility, consultant, and vendor requests, ISU’s ESTEC is now offering this training to nuclear industry engineers and senior technicians to provide detailed understanding of the operation and function of MOVs in nuclear service. The training includes a comprehensive awareness of MOV: • design basis performance, • design basis verification and in-service testing of MOVs, • regulatory aspects of MOV maintenance and testing, • hands-on work with MOV actuators.
This course is taught by industry experts who have been on the forefront of MOV engineering with the United States Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory. With more than 52 years combined experience in Motor Operated Valve design basis research, nuclear energy reactor operations, commercial plant licensing and NRC MOV inspection, instructors Kevin G. DeWall and Mark R. Holbrook possess the distinctive knowledge necessary to provide this comprehensive training.
