  • Volume prevents PZR heaters from being uncovered by outsurge following:
    • Step load drop of #% from #% to #% power

A

Pressurizer:

  • Minimum pressure during operating transients is above the SIAS setpoint
  • Maximum pressure is below the high pressure reactor trip during transients.
  • 33-52.5%: Ensures heaters covered and steam space for spray (maintains pressure control)
  • Volume prevents draining the PZR as a result of a reactor trip.
  • Volume prevents PZR heaters from being uncovered by outsurge following:

LCO 3.4.9 Pressurizer

  • ?…
A

LCO 3.4.9 Pressurizer

  • Applicable: Modes 1–3.
  • PZR level 27 - 56% (Does not apply > 5%/min ramp or > 10% step) [Mode 3 in 6 hours, M4 in 12 hours]
  • B1/B2 Back-up heaters operable (capacity ≥ 125 KW each) [one inop – 72 hour LCO, both inop – LCO 3.0.3]
    • High level - bubble maintained for pressure control (heaters/spray, prevent water in safeties)
    • Low level - ensures heaters are covered.
    • Maintain pressure control (subcooling margin) during natural circulation (LOOP) and SGTR.
    • Capacity is sufficient to maintain the RCS near NOP when accounting for heat losses through the PZR insulation. A wide subcooling margin to saturation can be obtained in the loops.

  • Power Supplies:

    • control power?…
  • Flywheel: Increases what? why?…
  • Anti-reverse rotation device: ?…
A

Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs):

  • Minimum flow rate ensures adequate heat removal capabilities in all modes of operation.
  • Maximum flow rate limits the uplift forces on the core.
    • To prevent lift, RCPs are limited to 3 or less when temp is < 500°F.
  • For P-T concerns, only two RCPs are allowed < 200°F.
  • Do not run 1A/2B or 1B/2A only (prevents journal bearing damage)
  • Power Supplies:
    • NAN-S01 (1A/2A) and NAN-S02 (1B/2B)
    • NKN-D44 (Control Power)
  • Flywheel: Increases coast-down time during loss of power to maintain DHR.
  • Anti-reverse rotation device: Withstands reverse torque in case of reversed power leads or during accident conditions.
    • Contains its own guide, thrust bearing and oil reservoir which are supplied with lube oil from an internal pump operating off of the thrust collar.
    • Internal pump supplies oil only when the motor is operating at ≥ 1/2 speed.
    • Bearings self-lubricated from the oil reservoir during slow speed conditions.

Q

RCP Seals:

  • gpm?…
  • pressure drops across the 3 seals?…
  • Can Seal bleedoff (controlled bypass flow) be isolated?…
  • Loss of Seal Injection…?
    *
A

RCP Seals:

  • ~ 6.6 gpm Seal injection water
  • 16 gpm journal bearing return
  • Mixes in the jet pump
  • 22.6 gpm (from jet pump)
    • Cooled by HP seal cooler (NCW)
    • Supplied to #1 seal high pressure cavity
  • In the #1 seal high pressure cavity, flow splits (20 gpm down / 2.6 gpm up):
    • 20 gpm flows down (aux impeller) through the journal bearing (cooling and lube)
      • 4.0 gpm to RCS (minimizes ingress of contaminants into the seals)
      • 16 gpm back to the jet pump
    • 2.6 gpm flows up thru the seal
      • Flows out the seal through a cooler as controlled bypass flow
      • Then flows into #2 seal high pressure cavity.
  • Flow paths through and around #2 seal are identical to #1 seal.
  • ~ 2.6 gpm returns to VCT (from #3 seal flows to seal bleed off line)
    • # 3 seal – vapor seal
    • Leakage past the vapor seal flows to RDT.
    • ~ 10-12 gpm total seal bleedoff flow returns to the VCT
  • Pressure drop across #1 seal is ~42% of system pressure. #2 seal is ~42%. #3 seal is ~16%.
    • Each seal is designed to provide a 100% pressure drop in the event of a failure of the seal below it and is capable of operating at full system pressure.
  • Controlled bypass flow (seal bleedoff) may be isolated for each pump.
    • Seal Bleedoff Isolation Valves are interlocked with running RCPs.
    • Will NOT close if associated RCP is running.
  • HP cooler MOVs: Key locked HS. Normally de-energized. Used to isolate RCS to NC leak.
  • Loss of seal injection only, may result in reduced seal life due to introduction of contaminants from RCS water.

  • Manual Start - will run until RCP started (have to hold in start if pump is already running)
  • Auto Starts - when you secure a RCP (must be manually stopped)
  • Auto Stops - After 2 min once the RCP is running
  • Lift pump oil is critical for RCP startup
  • EOP/OP: run lift pump for 7 minutes prior to RCP start

  • Required to depressurize the RCS for SDC when normal spray is not available (during natural circ and later stages of a normal RCS cooldown).
  • Distributes boron to the PZR when normal spray is not available.
  • TSR requires CH-524 and CH-532 to be locked open (ensures charging flow path from RWT to aux spray)

A

LCO 3.4.13 LTOP System shall be OPERABLE:

  • Two SDC suction line relief valves with lift settings ≤ 467 psig OR RCS vent of ≥ 16 in2.
  • Applicable: Mode 4 (any Tcold ≤ 221°F - LTOP enable), Mode 5, Mode 6 when vessel head is on.
  • LCO 3.0.4.b is not applicable when entering MODE 4.
  • Two relief valves required for redundancy.
  • Most limiting transients:
    • Start of an idle RCP with SG temp 100°F above RCS cold leg temperatures
    • Inadvertent SIAS with two HPSI pumps injecting when solid, three charging pumps injecting, and letdown isolated.

RCS vent: All PZR safety valves removed or removing PZR manway.

A

LCO 3.4.14 RCS operational leakage (Modes 1 – 4):

  • (…0, 1, 10, 150…)
  • No pressure boundary leakage
  • 1 gpm unidentified leakage
  • 10 gpm identified leakage
  • 150 gpd primary to secondary leakage through any one SG
  • Unidentified / identified leakage exceeded, restore in 4 hours.
  • Other leakage or not restored, be in M3 in 6 hours.
  • MSLB analyses assumes 1 gpm total 1° to 2° leakage at time of event.
  • 150 gpd ensures 10CFR100 limits maintained.

A

[…Not highlighted in Welch’s Notes…]

LCO 3.4.15 Leakage from each RCS PIV shall be within limits:

  • Modes 1-4 (except valves in the SDC flow path when in-service)
  • ­≤ 0.5 gpm per nominal inch of valve size (5 gpm max) at NOP (2250 ± 20 psia).
  • SDC System open permissive interlock prevents the valves from being opened with RCS ≥ 410 psia. (Setpoint is 385 psia)
  • Prevent an inter-system LOCA. SDC is most limiting (designed for 485 psig).
  • If exceeded, isolate within 4 hours and restore PIV within 72 hours. Or go to Mode 5.

LCO 3.4.17 RCS Specific Activity (Modes 1-4):

  • DE I-131 ≤ 1.0 μCi/gm.
  • DE XE-133 ≤ 550 μCi/gm.
  • Can operate with Iodine > 1.0 μCi/gm, but < 60 μCi/gm, for < 48 hours.
    • If > 60 μCi/gm, Mode 3 in 6 hours, Mode 5 in 36 hours
  • Can operate with Xe exceeding the limit for 48 hours.
  • LCO 3.0.4.c is applicable if < 60.0 μCi/gm
  • I-131 sample required if ≥ 15% power change in a 1 hour period.
  • Ensures off-site (10CFR100) and MCR dose limits maintained during a SGTR.

Limits also used for establishing standardization in radiation shielding and plant personnel radiation protection practices.

TLCO 3.4.104 Four vessel head vent paths functional:

  • Modes 1 – 3, Mode 4 ≥ 385 psia
  • Exhaust noncondensible gases / steam from the RCS that could inhibit natural circulation. At least one vent path ensures the capability exists to perform this function.

Vent path is from the head to RDT or CTMT.

LCO 3.4.12 Four PZR vent paths operable:

  • Modes 1 – 3, Mode 4 ≥ 385 psia
  • Vent path is from the PZR to RDT or CTMT.
  • Required during SGTR design basis event which assumes LOP and Aux Spray unavailable.
  • 2 or 3 paths nonfunctional: restore in 72 hours
  • All paths nonfunctional: restore at least one in 6 hours OR RICT (cannot voluntarily enter)
  • Loss of any single valve will cause two flow paths to become inoperable.
