Exam 9 Prep Flashcards
COLSS, RRS, RMS, SESS, PMS
State the licensed power limit in COLSS
100.4%
What is the DNBR POL based on?
- Operation at or below DNBR POL will prevent going below 1.34 during an event. Based on worst case LOCA
What is the LPD POL based on?
- Operation below LPD POL prevents 13.1 kw/ft and ensures < 2200F limit on the cladding during design basis LOCA
In what manner should COLSS be restarted?
- Restarting COLSS should on be done 1 computer @ a time.
- Takes 10-15 min before COLSS can be verified operable

Describe how JSCALOR is calculated.
If JSCALOR OOS is there a restriction on max power operation and if so, how long?
-
JSCALOR
- Q = Mfw(hstm – hfw) + Mbd(hstm – hbd) + (energy gains – energy losses)
- With JSCALOR out-of-service
- Plant CAN be operated > 96.6% power based on NKBDELT for a max of 4 hours
State how NKBDELT is calculated,
what is JCPCAL and how it is used with JSCALOR.
-
NKBDELT
- Q = M(∆h)
-
JCPCAL
- It’s NKBDELT moving toward JSCALOR (more accurate).
- Done because JSCALOR is more accurate that NKBDELT
- It’s NKBDELT moving toward JSCALOR (more accurate).
What is NKBTFSP?
-
NKBTFSP
- Power based on turbine first stage pressure.
- Then calibrated to JSCALOR (NKCTFSP)
What are truth tables and how are they used when JSCALOR is a good boi?
-
Truth Tables (Priority of Use)
-
When JSCALOR is GOOD
- Use the calibrated value of powers since they all use JSCALOR to “calibrate themselves” toward the value of JSCALOR
-
When JSCALOR is GOOD
What are the truth tables and how are they used when JSCALOR is a bad boi?
-
When JSCALOR is BAD
- Uses the non-calibrated functions which makes sense since JSCALOR is not GOOD
How is plant power used in display and alarm?
- Plant power will:
- Be displayed on B04
- Used by PDIL alarm circuit
- Sent to Margin and Alarm Comparator
Where is AZTILT calculated and how is it used?
-
AZTILT
- Actually calculated by In-core
- Alarm when actually value exceeds what was inputted into CPCs
Describe how ASI is calculated and how ASI shifting to the top of the core will affect POLs.
-
ASI
- 40 nodes of calculation
- AS ASI moves toward the top of the core the POL gets WORSE
Describe how RPF is calculated and which CEA or CEAs are used for determining penalty factors within RPF.
-
Radial Peaking Factor
- Calculated using 20 nodes in the core based on Tc deviation for 555F and CEA position
- Just uses tables for different Tc’s for each CEA position
-
The LOWEST CEA in the group is used as the penalty factor for the ENTIRE GROUP
- Penalty factors get worse as CEAs deviate inward
- Calculated using 20 nodes in the core based on Tc deviation for 555F and CEA position
How will a higher than actual blowdown constant affect PP and its conservatism?
-
S/G Blowdown
-
If Blowdown constants are entered THAT ARE HIGHER THAN ACTUAL BLOWDOWN FLOW:
- Then indicated power will be LESS THAN ACTUAL POWER and thereby not conservative.
-
If Blowdown constants are entered THAT ARE HIGHER THAN ACTUAL BLOWDOWN FLOW:
How does COLSS handle instrument failures when a substitution parameter exists and is good?
- If the instrument has a substitution partner that is good then…..no problem it just substitutes and continues on its merry way
What happens to JSCALOR on the following?
Fstm increases
Pstm increases
D/Prcp decreases
SPDrcp increases
- Fstm increases
- JCSALOR decreases
- Pstm increases
- JSCALOR decreases
- D/Prcp decreases
- NKBDELT increases
- SPDrcp increases
- NKBDELT increases
How is a failure/deviation that affects JSCALOR different from one that affects NKBDELT?
- If the deviation falls on JSCALOR then power will over the long term CALIBRATE to that deviation
-
If the deviation falls on NKBDELT or NKBTFSP
- Instantly it will deviate BUT then JSCALOR will calibrate it back to previous value
To what capability was the RRS system designed?
-
Capability
- With SBCS and RPCB, the RRS system is capable of making an adjustment for a 100% load rejection, a 10% step change in power, or a 5%/min ramp in load
What conditions must be satisfied to place RRS in test mode?
-
Conditions to place RRS in test:
- PLCS must NOT be in Remote/Auto
- CEDMCS must NOT be in Auto Sequential
What will generate an AWP from RRS to CEDMCS?
-
AWP
- Tc loop temperature >575F
- Tavg > Tref by more than 6F
- SBCS demand
What will generate an AMI within RRS and when is it reset?
-
AMI
- Components SELECTED TO AVERAGE with a deviation:
- Tavg > 5F
- Control Channel > 5%
- TLI deviation > 5%
-
Resets once a CEA WITHDRAWAL DEMAND is received
- Control Channel power <15% (From SBCS)
- TLI < 15% and Reactor Power < threshold demand (either setpoint or SBCS valve availability)
- Components SELECTED TO AVERAGE with a deviation:
