Q

What does the AFW flow retention signal do?

A

Protect against run-out after steam/feed break by limiting flow from the AFW pumps that may be supplying the faulted SG

A

East ESW Header

23
Q

Where does the back up water supply to the suction of the TDADPs come from?

A

West ESW Header

24
Q

What will cause an AMSAC Signal?

A

FW Flow less than 25% (3/4 feed flows)

25
Q

WHat is the T.S. Minimum for the CST and what does it provide?

A

182,000 Gal
- Maintain the plant in Mode 3 for 9 hours with steam discharge to the atmosphere via PORVS with LOOP.
- OR-
- Capability of holding the Unit in MODE 3 for 2 hours followed by a 4 hour cooldown to RHR

26
Q

Which SG(s) provide steam the TDAFPs?

A

2 and 3 SGs

27
Q

What does T.S. 3.7.5D (AFW System) state if 3 AFW trains are inoperable in Modes 1-3 (Mode 4 when relied upon for heat removal)?

A

IMMEDIATELY Initiate action to restore 1 AFW train to Operable status. Do NOT enter LCO 3.0.3 change modes

28
Q

What does T.S. 3.8.4D (AFW System) state if the N Train DC electrical power system is inoperable in Modes 1-4?

A

IMMEDIATELY Declare the TDAFW pump inoperable

29
Q

What are the N Train loads?

A
  • Trip and Throttle Valve
  • Test Valve
  • TDAFP to SG Supply valves
  • Auto Start circuit
  • Turbine Trip circuit
  • Electr. Overspeed circuit
  • ELO valve control power and solenoid
  • AMSAC inverter
  • N-Train Chargers are tripped by SSPS testing

Flow retention switches are NOT

30
Q

How can you tell if it’s an electronic or mechanical overspeed on the TDAFP?

A

Electronic Overspeed
- Overspeed will bring in both alarms. (Drop 10 and 50) Drop 50 will clear when seal in alarm is reset

Mechanical Overspeed
- Overspeed will bring in both alarms. (Drop 10 and 50) But Drop 50 will not clear even if the seal in alarm is reset

31
Q

What are the Safety functions of Aux Feed?

A
  • Provides Feedwater to S/G’s when Main Feedwater Pumps are unavailable

33
Q

Is AFW required in Mode 4?

A
