CTS and H2 Recombiners Flashcards
What is the purpose of the CTS system?
- Limits post-accident containment pressure and temperature to less than design values
- Removes radioactive elemental iodine from the containment atmosphere in the event of a DBA.
What is the purpose of the H2 Recombiner?
Control the hydrogen generated in the containment after a loss of coolant accident (LOCA)
What is the purpose of DIS?
Eliminates hydrogen in containment following a LOCA to prevent a detonation by periodic ignition of hydrogen-air mixtures
What are the ESF systems in the plant?
- Ctmnt Structure
- ECCS System
- Ice Condenser
- CTS
What are the CTS pump starts?
- Load Shed (W/ Phase B)
- Phase B
- Manual
CTS Signal does NOT start the Pumps!
What are the CTS pump Trips?
- Load Shed
- Overload/Overcurrent
- Manual
What causes a CTS signal?
2.8# (2/4 on LOWER containment pressure)
What are the fission product barriers?
- Fuel Clad
- RCS
- Containment
What do you declare if you lose one or potential to lose one fission product barrier?
Unusual event
What do you declare if you lose two fission product barriers and potential to lose a thrid fission product barrier (Fuel Clad or RCS Barrier)?
General Emergency
What do you declare if you lose any TWO of the following:
- Loss or Potential Loss of Fuel Clad.
- Loss or Potential Loss of RCS.
- Loss of Containment Barrier.
Site Area Emergency
What happens on a SAT low-low lvl?
- SAT outlet valves close
- Eductor suction valves should have closed prior to the SAT Low Low lvl alarm but it sends the signal again
Which CTS header does RHR feed and how much flow?
Upper Containment Spray Hdr only at 2000gpm
What is the intended pH of the recirc sump due to CTS?
7-10 pH
What is added to the SAT to help remove radioactive iodine?
Sodium Hydroxide
