Q

What is the design/purpose of the Input Bay?

A

Provides a signal to the Logic Cards in the Logic Bay. This is accomplished through the actuation of relay circuits based on input received from Process Protection Cabinet bistables.

Q

What are the two power supplies(voltage level) in the Logic Bay, and what do they provide power to?

A
  1. There are two 15VDC and two 48VDC power supplies in the Logic bay.
  2. The 15VDC power supply powers the logic cards
  3. The 48VDC power supply powers:
    A. The Reactor Trip Breaker undervoltage coils
    B. Master Relay Coils in the Output Bay

18
Q

What are the functions relying on ESFAS?

A
  1. A reactor trip will be generated, provided one has not already been generated by the reactor trip system
  2. NV, NI, and ND pumps, and associated valves which provide emergency makeup water to the cold legs of the NC system following a LOCA
  3. KC pumps which provide cooling water to the ND heat exchangers
  4. RN pumps which provide cooling water to the KC heat exchangers
  5. Motor driven CA pumps, CAPT
  6. Feedwater isolation to prevent excessive cooldown
  7. Phase ‘A’ Containment Isolation
  8. Main Steam Isolation to prevent continuous uncontrolled blowdown thereby preventing an uncontrolled cooldown
  9. Diesel Generators assure backup supply of power
  10. VE system actuation to maintain a negative pressure in the Annulus
  11. Containment Ventilation Isolation to prevent spread of radioactivity
  12. Containment Air Return Fans and NS pump to reduce pressure
  13. Phase ‘B’ Containment Isolation
  14. VA system aligns to the filtered exhaust
