Q

How does a lowering Tave affect break flow from the Choke Flow effect

Q

Where is the worst location to have a SBLOCA and why

A
  • Cold Leg

- It requires more mass to be lost before the break is uncovered because the cross under loop seal must be cleared

  • Verify Rx Tripped
  • Verify Turbine Tripped
  • Verify AC Emergency bus power
  • Check SI status
32
Q

Why is AFW flow lowered to less than 450K PPH in E-0

  • To limit over cooling of the RCS
33
Q

Why is AFW flow maintained greater than 240K PPH in E-0

A
  • To ensure enough FW flow for decay heat removal (Heat Sink)
34

Q

While in ES-0.2(Natural Circ Cooldown) for a Natural Circ Cooldown, what must Pressurizer Level be BEFORE starting an RCP IF RVLIS indicates less than full and WHY

A
  • Pzr Level greater than 84%

Q

What three factors influence Pressurizer Spray Flow

A
  • Vessel and RCS Piping delta P
  • Velocity head at spray flow scoop
