CRD Flashcards
How are regulating rods sequenced?
The top and bottom 20% of groups 5,6,7 are overlapped.
What are the main and secondary power supplies for CRD Rod Groups?
A (Main): B631
B (Secondary): A-501/ X-8
What phases are used to ‘Hold’ a CRDM?
‘A’ and ‘CC’
How many phases are needed to ‘Hold’ a CRDM?
1, but we provide 2 for redundancy
What is the purpose of the ball check valves on the motor tube?
Ball check valves are only with the control rods (Safeties, and Control Groups 1-7) Required
for water volume replacement during a reactor trip.
What is the purpose of the synchronizing bearing?
Ensures the segment arms are equally pulled apart
for magnetic coupling and full engagement of the roller nuts.
What is the purpose of the torque taker?
Prevents the Leadscrew from rotating to provide
linear motion in and out of the core.
What is the order for rotating the CRDM to generate IN or OUT rod motion?
3-2-3-2 (2-3-2-3)
What is CRDM max stator temp?
180F
What is max cooling water temp entering the CRD?
120F
What is the min allowable cooling water temp?
60F
What is allowed max CRD travel? (hi temp implications)
420”/hr
What is allowed max CRD run time? (hi temp implications)
30min/hr
What is the CRDM Stator Hi Temp Computer Alarm setpoint?
113F
How many CRD Stator Group temperatures above 180F require tripping the reactor?
> 1
What are the 2 rod speeds?
“RUN” is 30”/minute
“JOG” is 3”/minute
What would happen if rod control receives simultaneous IN and OUT commands?
IN commands override OUT commands
What would happen if rod control receives simultaneous commands for 2 different rod speeds?
HOLD command
