Q

What is the function of the CSS?

A
  • 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.

Q

Describe the containment sump.

A

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.

Q

What are the passive strainers and what is unique in terms of flow path?

A

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.

Q

PRV-3001/3002 setpoint?

A

95 psig +/- 5 psig

17
Q

What opens CV-3071, P-66A Subcooling?

A

P-66A running and RAS signal.

18
Q

What opens CV-3070, P-66B Subcooling?

A

P-66B running and CV-3030 open

19
Q

What happens if CV-3030 does not open?

A

RAS closes CV-3001 after a 30-second time delay.

20
Q

What happens on CHP?

A

P-54A/B start, CV-3001/3002 open provided SIAS present.

P-54C will start 20-seconds later.

White light on pump controls indicate they have SIAS signal and are waiting on CHP.

21
Q

What is the left-train RAS signal?

A

Y-10 and Y-20 powering LS-0327/0328.

22
Q

What is right-train RAS signal?

A

Y-30 and Y-40 power LS-0329/0330.

23
Q

What happens on RAS?

A
  1. Sump outlets open
  2. SIRW outlets close
  3. SIRW recirc valves close if in ‘A’ postion
  4. CCW highcaps open and tcv’s close
  5. LPSI pumps trip
  6. CV-3001/3002 go to throttled
  7. Subcooling for operating HPSI pump opens.
24
Q

How is CS lined up to fill SI tanks?

A
  • SDC System goes through only E 60B.
  • SIT fill goes through E 60A.
  • Note: This is only done in Modes 5 or 6. This is NOT the normal way to fill the SITs.
  • Only one Spray Pump is used and its Recirculation path is unisolated. Flow from the Spray system through the Spray recirculation line and into the SIT fill and drain header.
  • Multiple tanks are filled at the same time for better pump performance. Due to the relatively low flows, this fill operation is limited to <= 8 hours for any one pump.
25
Q

What are CS control room controls on EC-03?

A

EC-03:

  • Spray Pump CS and status indicating lights,
  • Control switches for CV-3001/3002.
  • CS Valve CHP Bypass Switches,
  • SDC Heat Exchanger Inlet and Outlet Valves and HPSI Subcooling Valves
26
Q

EC-08 indications?

A

PI 1812 and PI 1805 indicate Containment Building Pressure in a range of 0 to 100 PSIA.

27
Q

EC-13 indications?

A
  • PI 0360, SDC HExch Inlet Pressure of 0 to 500 psig.
  • FI 0301A and FI 0302A, CSFlow indicators with a range of 0 to 3000 gpm,
  • LPIR 0382 and LPIR 0383, Containment Sump Level/Pressure Recorders record Containment pressure on one of their pens.
  • PIA 1814 and PIA 1815, Containment Pressure Indicating Alarms alarm at 0.85 psig and have a range of 0 to 5 psig.
28
