1
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
