Industrial Valves for Nuclear Power

Nuclear power industrial valves are highly specialized products with extremely stringent safety and technical requirements. In fact, only a limited number of valve manufacturers worldwide possess the capability to produce this category of ultra-demanding valves. MSA (Czech Republic), with a heritage dating back to 1884, is one of the world’s foremost manufacturers of nuclear power valves. MSA produces a wide range of nuclear-grade valves capable of withstanding extreme conditions—both very low and very high temperatures—and pressures up to 200 bar or higher upon request. In practice, MSA’s nuclear power valves are deployed in most major nuclear power plants across the globe. Some valve types in this category are so advanced that only a handful of manufacturers worldwide are able to produce them. Nuclear-grade valves must also guarantee a service life of more than 50 years, requiring advanced manufacturing technology and specialized expertise to achieve such durability and reliability. MSA’s nuclear valve portfolio includes widely applied types such as ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, butterfly valves, and check valves, available in both manual operation and actuator-driven pneumatic control versions designed specifically for nuclear applications.
