CTMT systems Flashcards
What is the tech spec temp limit of CTMT?
95 deg F
What’s the tech spec temp limit of Drywell?
135 deg F
What will cause water level in drywell to increase?
CTMT pressure goes up OR
vacuum is created in the drywell
What’s the purpose of the CTMT systems?
contain the steam that is released into the drywell following a LOCA and condense the steam in the suppression pool
What does the weir wall and the inside surface of the drywell form?
Vent annulus
What is used to maintain negative pressure of the Aux building
Normal - FHA fans
Accident - STBY gas
When are the gates required to be removed from the upper CTMT pool and why?
Modes 1,2,3 for SPMU
What makes up the secondary CTMT?
Aux building, FHA, and enclosure building
What’s the purpose of the drywell?
direct steam from LOCA into the suppression pool, and act as a shield for CTMT
Also as shielding for CTMT.
Also protects CTMT liner from missile hit and pipe whip
What does the drywell support the weight of?
Upper CTMT pools and refueling bridge
what is the purpose of the suppression pool vents?
Provide a vent path from drywell through suppression pool to CTMT
Purpose of the Reactor shield wall?
Reduce radiation levels in the drywell
What is the pressure/temp limit in CTMT? (design basis)
185 deg F and 15 psig
what is the pressure/temp limit of the drywell? (design basis)
330 deg F and 30 psig
what is the risk of losing drywell integrity?
Steam could bypass the suppression pool and ressurize CTMT and failure of CTMT
