Q

What is the purpose of the ball check valves on the motor tube?

A

Ball check valves are only with the control rods (Safeties, and Control Groups 1-7) Required
for water volume replacement during a reactor trip.

A

1 of 3
API
RPI
Zone

24
Q

What conditions generate an ‘OUT’ Inhibit?

A
  • Loss of System Power (24VDC, 15VDC, 5VDC: Comes from RS-3, RS-4)
  • Loss of power to DC Hold
  • Loss of air flow in the DC hold cabinets
  • Overheat of the 480VAC Voltage Regulator
25
Q

A
GR6>5% AND GR5<80%
GR7>5% AND GR5<80%
G7>5% AND GR5<95%
GR6<95% AND G7>20%
GR5<95% AND GR6>20%
26
Q

What will prevent the Diamond Panel from going to AUTO?

A
  • Auto Inhibit
  • Sequence Inhibit
  • Reactor Trip Confirmed
27
Q

What will reject the Diamond Panel to MANUAL?

A

Loss of ICS Power

28
Q

What condition will light up the APSR OVERLAP Light?

A

Group 6 within 2% of the top of the poison section of Group 8 (Power Peaking Concern)

29
Q

What interlocks are the Safety Rods Out Limits tied to?

A
  • Asymmetric Rod Runback
  • Auto Inhibit
  • Out Inhibit
  • Feed and Bleed
  • Sequence Enable
  • Out Command
30
Q

How many rod out limits are needed to stop outward rod motion of that group?

A

1 (Out Limit Light on the Diamond and PI panel)

31
Q

What does it mean when the CONTROL ON Light is illuminated on the Diamond Panel?

A

Command Enabled or Selected for Transfer

32
Q

What is the purpose of the IN LIMIT BYPASS (LATCH) Switch on the Diamond Panel?

A

Bypasses IN LIMITS for latching (Groups 1-7)

33
Q

After transferring a rod group back to the group power supply from the aux power supply, what completes the logic to allow another rod group to be selected?

A

Transfer Reset (TR CF light must go out)

34
Q

How do you know there are no rods or rod groups on the Aux Power Supply?

A

TR CF light will be out

35
Q

FAULT RESET will reset what faults?

A
  • Asymmetric Rod Fault
  • Out Inhibit
  • System Power
  • Motor Power
36
Q

TRIP RESET resets the CRD trip condition and energizes rod motors if what conditions are met?

A
  • GR 1-7 In Limits
  • RPS Reset
  • CRDM Cooling Flow
