Area 3 Smaller systems Flashcards

1
Q

How do we put a CEA subgroup on the hold-bus?

A

We have 10 minutes to get it done
It is a make before break. Meaning that the CEA subgroup will be on its normal power supply and the hold bus at the same time. This will prevent an inadvertent dropped into the core.

Q

If we have the ‘A’ train of EW cross connected to NC; what will cause the cross connect valves to automatically close? Why?

A
EW 'A' surge tank low level (17") or SIAS
It ensures the EW system can perform its class function

Q

What causes the EW surge tank makeup solenoid valve to automatically close?

A

High level or low low level (14”)

It automatically closes on a low low level to prevent feeding a leak

22
Q

Describe “stacking” in the Essential Chillers?

A

During winter months, a low cooling load and low EW temperature can cause liquid refrigerant to remain in the condenser due to there not being enough refrigerant pressure to drive the liquid through the flash economizer to the cooler. Temperature and pressure drop and the chiller trips on low temp.

23
Q

How do we prevent stacking?

A

RHPCV

24
Q

When should the bypass valve around the RHPCV be opened?

A

Degraded EW pump performance

EW aligned to the fuel pool cooling loads

25
Q

What are the ways we override the RHPCV’s?

A
  • Hydraulically using the pilot stem located on top of the valve
  • manual override screw on the bottom of the valve (pilot bypass stem must be backed off first).
26
Q

What are the loads off of EC?

A
LPSI, HPSI, CS, AF, EW pump rooms
Control room ventilation
ESF switchgear room
DC equipment room
Elect pen room
27
Q

What is the N2 pressure on the EC expansion tank?

A

28 psig

28
Q

What does the flash economizer do for us in the essential chiller?

A

subcools refrigerant before it gets to the flash economizer to add efficiency

29
Q

What are the WC normal loads?

A
Containment HVAC
Control Building HVAC
Aux Building HVAC
RW HVAC
Non-nuclear Sample coolers
Polishing demin Sample coolers
Generator Collector housing
30
Q

What is the limit for WC water entering the chiller?

A

100 degrees F

31
Q

What is the limit for LO temperature leaving the WCN-E02 bearings?

A

170 degrees F

32
Q

How many chillers can we have running at one time?

A

2 big chillers and the small chiller

33
Q

What pressure does PCV-20 maintain on the WC expansion tank?

A

5-45 psig N2

34
Q

What level does the WC expansion tank fluctuate between?

A

12-72”

35
Q

What are the chillers without digital controls?

A

Unit 2 1A and 1C

Unit 3 1A

36
Q

Why is it important to know which chillers have digital controls?

A

The ones without digital controls are susceptible to chilled water low flow trip when starting a 2nd chiller.

37
Q

When starting a WC circ pump, what do you need to be careful of?

A

Don’t fully open the WC circ pump discharge valve completely without first starting that Chiller. This could cause WC rising temperature and rising amps on the running chiller; which could cause it to trip.

38
Q

When do the Normal chillers trip on low water flow?

A

Big chillers- 800 gpm

Small Chiller- 215 gpm

39
Q

When do the normal chillers trip on low condenser water flow?

A

Big chillers- 1600 gpm

Small chiller- 400 gpm

40
Q

When will the normal chillers trip on compressor low oil pressure?

A

13 psig

41
Q

What systems need to be in operation to start a WC?

A

NCW, DW, N2, IA, PB, NB, PH, NH, PK, NK

42
Q

What is the essential cooling water systems mission time?

A

30 days

43
Q

What do you look for in the CEDMCS room on rounds?

A
  • Check voltage/amps on CEDMCS control panel
  • No faults on control panel
  • Walk by RTSG, SPLA
  • Check coolers are running
  • Leaks, squeaks, vibrations on any equipment
44
Q

What are the normal voltage and amp values for logs in the CEDMCS room?

A

About 240 volts and 88 amps

45
Q

How many room coolers are in the CEDMCS room?

A

Two, both normally running

46
Q

What are the three CEA regulating groups?

A
  • Shutdown groups
  • Regulating groups
  • Part Strength groups
47
Q

If one motor generator set is secured what must the control room do?

A

Move CEAs with MI only to prevent overloading the MG.

48
Q

What does CMA alarm in the CEDMCS system indicate?

A

Continuous motion alarm. Motion longer then preset time interval of 30 seconds in high rate or 60 seconds in low rate.

49
Q

What does a timer failure in the CEDMCS system indicate?

A

CEA sequence took greater than 5 seconds or both the upper gripper and lower gripper had zero voltage at the same time. Can cause the affected CEA and the subgroup to have a low voltage upper gripper signal

50
Q

What does a CGHV in the CEDMCS system indicate?

A

Continuous gripper high voltage- After a loss of subgroup logic, which causes a high voltage condition in the CEDM coils. (10 minutes to get it on the holdbus)

51
Q

What is our concern with CEDM cooling loss?

A

With RCS temperature above 300 degrees F. Cooling must be restored within 10 minutes or a rapid cooldown must happen.
