Q

Design basis of AFW system (5 items)

A
  1. Provide FW to the SG to remove decay heat (requires 420 gpm).
  2. Flow limiting orifice - ensures that in the event of a line rupture at least 160 gpm to intact SG
  3. Deliver flow within one minute of accident (ATWS)
  4. No operator action necessary for 30 minutes
  5. Pump design capacity of 990 gpm @ 1450 psig (assumes 100 gpm recirc flow).

Q

AF022A/B and AF024 (normal recircs and recirc to SX) description

A

Recirc also auto swaps to SX: AF022 closes when own SX suction valves (both) not fully closed AF024opens when either AF022 not fully open. When AF006s and AF017s are closed. The recircs automatically re-align (AF022s open and AF024 closes).
