Containment Hydrogen Control Flashcards
What is the main purpose for Containment Hydrogen Control ?
It’s used to monitor hydrogen concentrations in containment following a LOCA
Following a LOCA, how is hydrogen gas generated inside containment ?
-Metal water reaction involving zirconium fuel cladding & RC
-Radiolytic decomposition post-LOCA emergency cooling solutions
-Corrosion of metals & paints by solutions used for Emerg. Cooling or Containment Spray
What Hydrogen Monitoring subsystem is provided in units ?
-Hydrogen Gas Analyzers
-Containment Isolation Valves
What is the Hydrogen Monitoring system designed to do?
Designed to measure hydrogen concentration in Containment
What emergency operating procedures are used ?
-LOCA
-Excess Steam Demand
-Entry into functional Recovery Procedure
Where do the Hydrogen Analyzers draw from & discharge to ?
-Draw from containment atmosphere
-Discharges back to containment atmosphere
Where does the Hydrogen Analyzers suction pass through ?
-Passes through associated trains Inside Containment Isolation Valve
-Passes through Analyzer discharge through inside Containment Isolation Check Valve
How many hydrogen analyzers are there per train ?
There are two redundant Hydrogen Analyzers ONE per Train
What indications does each Hydrogen Analyzers ? Where do it show indication at ?
Provided indication for hydrogen concentration inside containment, locally at the analyzer & in Control Room
What’re the normal conditions for Hydrogen Analyzers ? How long can accurate readings be attained ?
-Normally in standby condition & placed in service by control room
-When placed in service readings can be attained in 30 minutes
How is Containment hydrogen concentration measured ?
Draws sample of containment atmosphere through each gas analyzer
What does each Gas Analyzer consist of ?
Consist of a:
-Sensor
-Electronic sub-assembly
-Local & remote alarms & readouts
What kind of Gas Bottles are used with Hydrogen Analyzer ?
-Span Gas & Reagent Gas mounted next to Hydrogen Analyzers
Why is Span Gas & Reagent Gas Bottles needed for the Hydrogen Analyzers ?
Span Gas Bottle- Required for calibration of Analyzer
Reagent Gas Bottle-Required for operation of Analyzer
When should the POST Accident Monitoring Instrumentation be FUNCTIONAL ?
In Modes 1,2,and 3 it shall be FUNCTIONAL
