CTS and H2 Recombiners Flashcards

1
Q

What is the purpose of the CTS system?

A
  • 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.

Q

What happens on a SAT low-low lvl?

A
  • SAT outlet valves close
  • Eductor suction valves should have closed prior to the SAT Low Low lvl alarm but it sends the signal again

Q

What do we use in the SAT to minimize moisture (dilution of tank)?

A

Nitrogen over-pressure

17
Q

Can the H2 Recombiners be started in modes 1-4?

A

Yes, but you have to declare the EDGs inoperable because it will over load the EDGs in the event of an SI with LOOP (Load Cons)

18
Q

What powers the H2 recombiners?

A
  • 11/21 B
  • 11/21 C
19
Q

Will the H2 recombiners trip on a load shed?

A

No

20
Q

Will the CTS pump auto start on a Containment Spray Signal?

A

NO!

21
Q

What signal will give a Main Steam Isolation?

A

2.8 psi, AUTO Phase B

22
Q

What will 2.8 psi in containment cause?

A
  • Phase B
  • Ctmnt Spray Actuation
  • Steam Line Iso (auto only)
23
Q

What are the auto actions of a Ctmnt Spray Actuation?

A
  • CTS pump disch valves open
  • SAT outlet valves open
24
Q

What are the H2 production sources?

A
  • Zirc (Clad) H20 reaction
  • Radiolytic decomp of H20
  • Corrosion of metals inside containment
25
Q

What is the purpose of the Spray Add educator?

A

Draws the NaOH solution from the SAT and mixes it with a portion of the CTS pump discharge flow

26
Q

What must be closed before you can open ICM-305 and 306?

A

Normal Suction from RWST for both CST and RHR Pumps must be closed
- RHR normal suction from RWST must be closed (IMO-310/320)
- CTS normal suction from RWST Must be closed (IMO215/225)

27
Q

When do the ESW to CTS Hx outlet valves throttle open and to what flow?

A

Throttle open on a CTS Signal and ICM 305/306 open to 2400gpm

28
Q

What is the purpose of the lower end of the pH band for the Spray Add System? (8.5 pH)

A

Keeps iodine in solution

29
Q

What is the purpose of the upper end of the pH band for the Spray Add System? (10 pH)

A

prevent chloride and caustic stress corrosion on equipment

30
Q

Which Channel / Instrument of lower containment pressure feeds into CTS, but NOT SI?

A

PPP-303, which is Channel 1

Channel 1 does 1 thing

31
Q

If utilizing the manual Phase B switches in the control room, what can you expect to happen?

A
  • Actuates Train Specific Phase B
  • Actuates Train Specific CTS
  • Actuates Train Specific CVI
  • Starts CTS pumps

SLI will NOT come from manual Phase B. It is AUTO ONLY.

32
Q

During flow testing, the purpose of the containment spray pump test line is to minimize what?

A

closed loop heatup

33
Q

How many spray headers are there in contaiment?

A

2 CTS (Upper and Lower)
2 RHR (Upper Only, 1 for each Train)

34
Q

Hydrogen Recominbiers ________ be tested in mode 4 and recombintations of Hydrogen and Oxygen occurs at _________ degrees F

A

1135 degrees F

35
Q

How long is the delay for a CTS Pump start after the Phase B Signal?

A
  • 240 seconds for Unit 1
  • 30 seconds for Unit 2
36
Q

To have an OPERABLE DIS Train, how many Hydrogen ignitors must you have capable of being energized?

A

This is PER TRAIN. 70 ignitors total.

37
Q

How is temperature in the hydrogen recombiners maintained?

A

Controlling power ot the heaters

38
Q

What is the standby alignment position of ht e eductor supply valves?

A
