Function of RCB
Provides virtually leak-tight boundary to prevent release of fission products to the environment in the event of a LOCA and provides bilogical shielding during normal and accident conditions
Protects RCS from environmental conditions such as earthquake, tornado, etc.

Function and location of Personnel Airlock
68’ SE Quadrant
Provides leak tight normal access point into RCB.
Double inflatable seals with LCO requirement of 90 psig in IA header for Operability
Leak test of 0.5 psig in 8 hrs, 1.5 psig in 24 hrs

Purpose of Reactor Pedestal
Supports RPV
Serves as support for pipe whip restraint.
Transmits loading from upper internals and seismic loading to the base mat
Located at the center of the RCB 1 ft. off the East-West Center line to ensure crane can reach all of core

Purpose of Primary Shield Wall
Missile protection for RPV
Biological shielding
As part of the RX pedestal, transmits weight to foundation base mat
Anchorage for pipe restraints
Extends up from RX pedestal to operating floor at elevation 68 ft.
Built integrally with RX cavity walls

Purpose of Secondary Shield Wall
Provides shielding (radiation and missile)
Isolates RCS from other accessible portions of containment.
Laterally restrains supports for: SGs, RCPs, and PZR.
Safeguards electrical and mechanical systems
Serve as pipe whip restraint supports
Forms the exterior of the primary loop compartments.

Purpose of Primary Loop Compartment
Contain the primary loops
Primary Shield and Refueling Pool Walls form the interior.
Secondary Shiled Wall forms the exterior.

Purpose of Refueling Pool
Used during refueling to provide shielded access for transferring new and spent fuel between RPV and transfer tube.
Shielded laydown area for Reactor Vessel Upper and Lower Internals.
Filled with borated water when moving fuel over the RPV flange
