E51 - RCIC Flashcards
When will the min flow valve auto open? and when will it auto close?
> 125 psig AND < 95 gpm OPEN
> 175 gpm CLOSED
What are the RCIC turbine throttle trips? (trips the trip/throttle valve)
SOMIE
Suction pressure low > or equal to 6.5”hg (electrical)
Overspeed – approximately 5520 RPM (120%) (mechanical)
Manual PB (Electrical)
Isolation (group 4 isolation) Div 1 OR div 2 signal (Electrical)
Exhaust pressure high (turbine exhaust) > or equal to 25 psig (Electrical)
and also the local trip lever (mechanical)
What pump will swap to suppression pool on high level first, RCIC or HPCS?
RCIC
How does the Gland Seal Compressor respond to a LOCA?
Trips on Div 1 ECCS initiation,
When signal resets, compressor will auto restart
If level is < -41.6”, AND RCIC gland seal compressor H/S has been taken to stop.
If level is >-41.6” it should manually be started if RCIC is running
When will the RCIC steam line warmup valve F076 close?
Group 4 isolation
When does the F063 and F064 Steam Supply inboard and outboard isolation valves auto close?
Group 4 isolation
When does the RCIC Steam supply drain trap bypass auto open?
Steam supply drain pot level is high
What is the normal position of all drain valves?
open
when will the drain valves change position?
Closes when the F045 is Not Full closed
when can the drain valves be opened?
Can only be opened if F045 is full closed
how do drain valves fail on loss of power?
Fail closed
Can the gland seal compressors be secured if an actual initiation signal is present?
NO
What light indication is available from the P150 panel of the trip/throttle valve?
Motor position only! not actual valve position.
What flow does the Min/flow restrict flow to? and where does it discharge to?
90 gpm to the suppression pool
where does RCIC Turbine Exhaust to?
Suppression Pool
What is the logic for closing RCIC inj valve on level 8?
B and A at +53.5”
Closes F045, which closes F013 injection valve.
How does the F077, F078, and F068 respond to a group 9 isolation?
When can they be reopened?
Close on group 9
77 and 78 require BOTH signals clear
F068 only requires one signal to be clear
How do you reset a RCIC trip?
Take trip throttle valve closed and then back open
What is the indication of an electrical trip? TTV
After reset, one green light and one red light
what is the indication of a mechanical trip? TTV
Both lights are green
What is indication that all trips are clear, TTV
both lights red
What signals initiate RCIC?
Arm and depress manual P/B OR
-41.6” wide range
When does RCIC isolate?
+53.5” Rx Level Narrow Range
Where does RCIC inject into the RX?
“B” Feedwater line
Where does RCIC steam come from?
“A” main steam line, upstream of the MSIV
What RPM should RCIC turbine stay above?
why?
> 2,000 rpm
at <2,000 rpm, pump is not able to:
1) provide adequate oil pressure for turbine bearing lubrication and for governor actuator control oil.
2) chattering of the turbine exhaust check valve
Where does RCIC get its primary and backup suction from?
CST, backup is suppression pool
