Q

Where does loop-specific Tavg go?

A

OPDT
OTDT
Low Tavg (FW isolation at 2/4 < 564 and P4)

Q

PZR level control program

A

25% -> 61.5% as auctioneered Tavg goes from THZP to THFP
It stays constant above/below those Tavgs

Q

What does the SG level controller adjust?

A

FW control valve for flow

FW pump speed for dP across the SG

The speed controller keeps the control valve in the range where response is linear.

Q

Should charging flow change as power goes from 0 to 100%?

A

No. The PZR level program was designed to match the natural expansion of water along the Tavg program.

Q

What are the two main causes of a change in charging flow?

A

Q

Describe the SD error signal in steam pressure

A

Steam header pressure vs manually adjusted setpoint (used for heat up and cooldown)

17
Q

What instrument failures would cause rod insertion?

A

Thot high
Tcold high
Pimp low
PR high

18
Q

What system is not available if a Pimp fails?

A

Steam dumps

19
Q

What signals do you get if a PZR P channel fails low?

A

An OTDT
A PZR low P trip
A SIS
A P11

20
Q

What Ps, Cs, and Ts do the PRs feed?

A

PR low trip
PR high trip
PR rate trip
P7 - P10
C2 - C4
OTDT
OPDT

21
Q

How do rods respond if Pimp fails low?
What does the operator do?

A

They drive in
Put rods in manual if no load rejection

22
Q

How do the SDs use the Pimp transmitters in load reject mode?

A

PT505 feeds how much to open the SDs based on Tavg vs Tref.

PT506 senses if a >10% load reject has occurred to arm the system.
