81
Q

What was the root cause of the charging pump pulsation dampener failure at Palo Verde?

A

Discharge dampener bladder failure. The expansion of gas from failure of the elastomer bladder in a discharge pulsation dampener of a standby pump could travel backwards through the pump and gas bind all pumps.

82
Q

Why does the VCT have two different level instrument types?

A

226- Dry 227- wet

  • On a reference leg leak on 227, LI-227 would indicate a false HI level which would cause letdown to be diverted to the PHIX. LT-226 would see actual level decreasing and would actuate auto VCT makeup at desired set-point for start and stop.
  • If LT-226 had water in its dry leg, there would be a false low indication and automatic makeup would be started. Now LT-227 would see actual level.
  • There was a modification to provide an alarm on VCT level difference between LT-226 and LT-227. When the difference is 6 inches, LDSH-226 will send a hi level difference alarm input to the VCT trouble alarm window.
83
Q

What is the recent OE with the CVCS purification bed valve?

A

Shaft sheared on CHN-V398

84
Q

What is the large early release factor?

A

LERF- Is the ability of the plant to prevent significant releases with the potential for early health impacts on the public (before protective actions can be taken.)

85
Q

What is EOOS monitor? What does it do?

A

Equipment out of service monitor. Computerized tool developed for evaluating CDF or LERF risk based on the actual equipment scheduled or deliberately taken out of service for maintenance, testing and repair.

86
Q

What are the relief valves on the charging pumps suction and discharge set to? Where do they go?

A

discharge- 2735 psig goes to EDT

87
Q

How many boration flow paths are required to be available?
