CVCS Flashcards

Q

What is the design purpose of the CVCS system?

A
  • RCS Volume Control
    • Maintain chemistry TS limits assuming 1% failed fuel
    • Manages Liquid Radwaste
    • A single charging pump has sufficient capacity to replace the flow lost due to leaks in small RCS lines, like sample and instrument lines
    • Measure RCS fission product activity
    • The Refueling Water Tank (RWT) provides a borated water source for safety injection post Loss of Coolant accident, providing 20 minutes of full ESF pump flow prior to sump recirculation.
    • Ensures enough boric acid to make the reactor subcritical (Adequate Shutdown margin)
      Provides seal injection to RCP seals and accepts seal bleed off, aux spray to pressurizer

When the Makeup Mode Selector Switch, CHN-HS-210, is in Borate, how is make up accomplished?
The batch amount must be manually set on the boric acid flow integrator. Boric Acid Makeup Pump will start. CHN-UV-527 opens allowing boric acid flow to the charging pump suction. CHN-FV-210Y will modulate open to the preset value of boric acid flow. When flow reaches 20 gpm the recirculation valve (CHN-UV-510) will close. When batch amount is completed, CHN-FV-210Y will automatically close UV-510 opens (flow < 10 gpm). When Makeup Mode Selector Switch moved out of BORATE position, Boric Acid Makeup Pump will automatically stop and CHN-UV-527 will close.
107
When the Makeup Mode Selector Switch, CHN-HS-210, is in Dilute, how is make up accomplished?
The batch amount manually set on the Reactor Makeup Water flow integrator. Reactor Makeup Water Pump will auto start. CHN-UV-527 opens CHN-FV-210X will open to the pre-set value of Reactor Makeup Water flow. When flow reaches 20 gpm, the recirculation valve (CHN-UV-511) will close. When batch amount is completed, CHN-FV-210X will automatically close CHN-UV-511 opens (flow < 10 gpm). When Makeup Mode Selector Switch is moved out of DILUTE position, Reactor Makeup Pump will automatically stop and CHN-UV-527 will close.
108
If there is a change in boron concentration by more than 50 ppm, what has to be done?
start Pzr heaters to initiate spray flow to equalize the Pzr and RCS
109
Where does the Reactor Drain Tank receive inputs from?
Receives and condenses discharges from pressurizer safety valves to prevent release into containment Receives SDC reliefs in containment Drains from RCP vapor seal leakoff Other various Rx quality water drains in containment
110
What is the over pressure on the RDT?
~.5 psig N2
111
What is the minimum quench volume of the RDT? Purpose of the quench volume?
52% condense Pzr safety relief steam flow
112
When does the RDT rupture disk rupture? what purpose does this rupture disk serve?
120 psi protects the tank if a Pzr safety gets stuck open
113
Where is the RDT normally vented to? where else can it vent to?
GR header <10 psig HV-923 to Containment when >10 psig
114
When does the RDT auto isolate? What happens?
Hi-Hi RDT pressure @ 10 psig Closes: CHA-UV-560, RDT Outlet Isolation Valve CHN-UV-540, RDT Vent Valve
115
How do CHA-UV-560/CHB-UV-561, RDT outlet isolation valves (containment isolation valves) fail? What signals will these valves auto close on?
fail closed on a loss of air or PK auto close on: Hi-Hi RDT pressure @ 10 psig (cannot over ride) CIAS (can be overridden)
116
How does CHN-UV-540, RDT Vent Valve fail? What signal will this valve auto close on?
fail closed on a loss of air or NK Hi-Hi RDT pressure @ 10 psig
117
How does CHN-UV-580, RDT makeup supply isolation valve (containment isolation valve) fail? What signal will this valve auto close on?
fail closed on a loss of air or NK CIAS
118
How does CHN-HV-923, RDT remote manual vent valve fail?
Solenoid valve fails closed on loss of NK
119
What is the over pressure on the EDT?
~ 3psig N2
120
where is the EDT vented to? how does pressure get reduced as it is being vented?
Auxiliary Building HVAC exhaust CHN-PCV-568 reduces pressure going to the exhaust system
121
At what pressure does the EDT auto isolate?
7 psig
122
What is the minimum quench volume of the EDT?
35%
123
How does CHN-UV-563, Suction to RDT pumps from EDT fail?
fails closed on loss of air or NK
124
How does CHN-UV-562, Misc drains to EDT FCV fail? When does it auto close?
fails closed on loss of air or NK closes on EDT Hi-Hi pressure @ 7psig
125
How does CHN-UV-564, EDT to gas analyzer Isolation valve fail? When does it auto close?
fails closed on loss of air or NK closes on EDT Hi-Hi pressure @ 7psig
126
What is the purpose of the Reactor Drain Pumps?
Pump contents of EDT or RDT to the CVCS HUT through the Rx drain filter, PHIX, Gas Stripper
127
When do the Reactor Drain pumps auto trip?
UV-560/561 open and Lo level in RDT UV-563 open and lo level in EDT if no flow path available (UV560/561/563 all closed) letdown diverted to PHIX (prevent deadheading Rx drain pumps) electrical protection loss of control power
128
How does the Pre-holdup Ion Exchanger Temperature bypass valve (CHE-UV-565) fail? When does it automatically shift?
Fails to bypass on loss of air or NK Shifts to bypass on IONX high inlet temp @ 140*F
129
How does the Pre-holdup Ion Exchanger Outlet Valve (CHE-UV-566) fail? when does it automatically shift?
fails to EDT on a loss of air or NK shifts to EDT on gas stripper hi-hi
130
How does Gas Stripper outlet valve (CHN-UV-567) fail? When does it automatically shift?
Fails to HUT o a loss of air or NK shifts to HUT on VCT hi-hi level @60% shifts back to VCT @ 58%
