Core Spray Flashcards
What is the purpose of the Core Spray System?
Showers fuel to prevent exceeding thermal limits as a result of LOCA
What conditions is Core Spray designed to inject?
LOCA break size conditions which core cooling by HPCI alone up to and including DBA LOCA
What capacity (%) of DBA leak is CS designed to be able to handle?
Each of the 2 subsystems are designed redundantly to handle 100% each, without support from LPCI or offsite power
What (per TS3.5.1) is required if 2 or more subsystems of low pressure ECCS is INOP?
Enter 3.0.3 Immediately for shutdown
What is the normal suction for CS?
Torus via ECCS Suction ring header
What are the CS Injection valves? Normal operation? Normal position?
Two MOV’s
25 - Inboard - Throttleable - normally closed
24 - Normally open
Where is the Core Spray restricting orifice and what is it designed to do?
Upstream of injection valves - to prevent Pump runout
How does CS inject to the RPV?
Line penetrates core shroud and routes to a ring sparger above core - 2 100% coverage spargers
What is the alternate suction source for CS? Which CS pumps can line up to it?
CST - Can line up 2B and 3A (Centerline rooms)
Why can’t all 4 CS pumps take suction off CST?
Administratively prevented due to ECCS Jockey Pumps aligned to the 2A and 3B suction lines.
Where do the CS Pump Min Flow lines discharge to?
Torus
What is the ECCS keep fill source and purpose?
ECCS Jockey Pump - prevents water hammer on start of CS Pp
What is the CS Torus Suction Valve?
29 Manual, 3A MOV
What is the required capacity for each pump? shutoff head?
Each required to be 4500gpm at 90psig. Shutoff head 390psig
How many suction lines connect ECCS header to Torus and how many are required to provide adequate flow?
4 with suction screens. Designed such that 3 are adequate.
What are the CS Suction Valves and their power source?
1402-3A (MCC 28-1 (38-4))
1402-3B (MCC 29-4 (39-1))
What are the power sources for the CS Pumps?
A Pump Bus 23-1 (33-1)
B Pump Bus 24-1 (34-1)
What provides cooling water for the CS Pumps?
It’s own discharge
How is the area temperature maintained to prevent Pump/Motor Overheating? What is the cooling source and power?
ECCS Room Coolers -
Cooled by Service Water, CCSW (when running) or DGCWP(in needed, will INOP EDG)
PPowered by MCC 28-1(38-1) / 29-4(39-1)
