A
  • Pcntmt <50 psig and not ↑

- SI actuated and sufficient flow

24
Q

What is the concern with low CNTMT pressure during RAS?

A
  • Low press could cause SI air binding due to entrained air from RAS sump
25
Q

If one CS pump was stopped during 40EP-9EO03 Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) when would you be required to restart the second CS pump?

A
  • Running CS pump trips

- Press cannot be maintained <55 psig

26
Q

What would prevent you from restoring CNTMT cooling following a SIAS actuation?

A
  • Water level in containment
27
Q

Following a CSAS what are the required conditions to stop CS pumps?

A
  • Stop 1 pump at a time
  • Pcntmt <5 psig
  • Not needed for iodine removal
  • CTMT cooling restored OR SDC aligned OR not needed for H2 mixing
28
Q

During 40EP-9EO03 Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), what condition would require a manual MSIS?

A
