Containment Spray System Flashcards
What is the function of the CSS?
- Post accident limit of containment pressure rise to 55 psig or less.
- Pressure of 50% or less of 55 psig within 24 hours.
- Barrier to limit radioactive release (iodine entrapement),
- HPSI subcooling during RAS,
- HPSI pressure boost on loss of charging pumps due to fire.
What is the left train CSS?
Left Train Containment Cooling?
Left Train Containment Spray
- 1-1 EDG
- P-54B/C
Left Train Containment Cooling
- 1-1 EDG
- P-54B and P-54C
- CV-3001 and its spray header
What is the right train CSS?
Right Train containment cooling?
Right Train Containment Spray
- P-54A via 1-2 EDG
Right Train Containment Cooling
- 1-2 EDG
- P-54A
- CV-3002 / its spray header
- CACs VHX-1, VHX-2, and VHX-3
Describe the design of a CS pump.
Vertically split, horizontal centrifugal pumps with mechanical seals and auxiliary gland.
- 1,340 gpm at 195 psia injection
- 1800 at 175 psia recirc.
2300v, 250 hp, 55 amps at full load.
Describe the harsh environment features up the CS pumps.
- Can operate continuously without seal cooling with pumped fluid at 130F.
- Can only operate for 10 minutes with no seal cooling and pumped fluid at 320F
What are the CS throttle valves?
CV-3001/3002
- 6-inch globe valves
- powered by instrument air, backup via N2 Station 5.
- Full open on CHP.
- Fail open on loss of air/power.
What is the control and throttle power for CV-3001?
Closing: D-11-1 and D-21-1 Opening and Throttling D-11-1
What is the control and throttle power for CV-3002?
Closing, Opening, and Throttling D-21-1
What “arms” a containment spray pump?
SIAS
When do the CS throttle valves throttle and why?
On RAS at 2% in SIRW tank to reduce NPSH requirements of CS pumps.
What is RAS and its logic?
Switch from SIRW to Sump on 24” (2%) in SIRW.
1 out of 2 taken twice.
Left Channel LS powered via Y-10 (327) and Y-20 (328)
Right Channel LS powered via Y-30 (329) and Y-40 (330)
- LS from Y-10 or LS Y-30 AND LS from Y20 or LS Y-40
- Fires RAS relaying
Describe the containment sump.
22 feet in diameter, seven 4-inch floor drains, five 16-inch inlets, one 24-inch inlet and two 24-inch outlets to ECCS (CS & HPSI) pumps. One 4-inch outlet to radwaste.
Only two of the five 16-inch inlets, attached to passive strainers, are credited flow paths.
What are the passive strainers and what is unique in terms of flow path?
Installed on two of the 16-inch inlets and allow passage of no larger than 0.095 inch particles while meeting NPSH requirements.
They are the only post LOCA credited flowpath.
What is NaTB?
Sodium Tetraborate Decahydrate. Apprx 9k lbs in strainer baskets. Keeps ph >7 post RAS to maintain iodine captured via spray system.
What is the normal flow path of the CS system?
Not in service. Pump suction/discharge locked open, mini-flow locked closed, CV-3001/3002 spray control valves closed.
