Wyle provides integrated solutions to valve/actuator operation and maintenance (O&M) challenges using a unique combination of advanced analysis and testing tools. Wyle's credentials include more than 25 years of nuclear valve qualification and recertification, and Wyle's EPRI 89-10 Performance Prediction Program experience. These capabilities combine to provide an unequaled resource for improving plant availability, meeting regulatory requirements and reducing O&M costs.
Wyle offers a comprehensive package of valve engineering, analysis and testing services that range from design evaluation and prototype qualification for OEMs to troubleshooting and design improvement for valves already in-service. As an independent laboratory, Wyle provides unbiased assessments of valve performance problems plus solutions using the latest computerized analysis tools, backed by realistic testing. Even radioactive valves can be evaluated in the company's "hot shop" plus Wyle can support plant cobalt reduction programs.
Wyle also offers pooled inventory programs for safety valve parts and spare valves that 
reduce utility carrying costs and provide a reliable off-site source of quality replacements.
Wyle offers comprehensive research, engineering and test capabilities for motor operated valves (MOVs). In fact, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and others selected Wyle to conduct testing and research on MOVs to support the computer modeling programs developed to predict valve behavior for the industry's 89-10 response. The company's ability to use sophisticated similarity analysis/grouping techniques and to take advantage of existing industry data allows Wyle to provide the most economical means of meeting plant O&M objectives and regulatory requirements like GL 89-10 and 95-07 requirements.
