What is the Condensate Cross-Tie used for at the discharge of the Condensate Transfer Pumps ?
Used to transfer condensate back to the unit it came from during startup & shutdown
What happens if the Condensate Receiver Tank radiation monitor is unavailable?
Must take samples before being sent back to Main Condenser
What happens if NC is unavailable to the Vent Condenser ?
NC will have to secured until NC can be restored
What does the Aux. Steam provide to the MSRs during shutdown ?
