I'm interested in purchasing or constructing the receiver and antenna section of a bistatic radar installation that could be used to monitor the movement of aircraft in my vicinity. I assume existing nearby airport radar provides suitable initial pulse transmission. Has anyone done this kind of...
Thks for your input. Maybe water hammer isn't quite the correct terminology. Hydraulic shock or pressure surge is closer. Damping the valves would tend to reduce pressure surges. From drawings it is apparent that the valves have an internal piston/cylinder arrangement.

I'm interested in obtaining a list of "most probable failures" or "hot inspection items" for Nuclear power plant Emergency Diesel driven Generators and Pumps. A modern tendency seems to be the introduction of Probalistic Failure Mode analysis so I'm wondering what is...
Yes please, if you have any more information.
I recently took on a new job with a Nuclear Inspectorate (Switzerland). The plant with which I'm involved is GE BWR-6 built in 1984. There are moves to modify the (inclined) check valves so as to reduce leakage and reduce risk of stiction. Thks Pete
Some BWR's seem to have problems with check, or non-return valves in their feedwater circuits. These valves either stick open or leak water when they should be closed.
What methods are used to ensure satisfactory operation of these valves?. What sort of leak rates are acceptable? Should these...
