Q

how are the mini flow valves affected by a loss of 120VAC?

A

Fails open. if the FWPT trips or is already tripped the valve will close due to the energization of the DC solenoid

Q

how are the mini flow valves affected by loss of 125 VDC?

A

Normal ops, no effect.
If FWPT is tripped, a loss of DC will result in the valve failing open

Q

How often is the HP stop valve tested? any precations?

A

Daily.(Weekly) look this up!
HP control valve must be closed before testing the stop valve.
There is an interlock which prevents testing the HP stop valve if the HP control valve is open.

23
Q

Why is there a pressure switch installed on the control oil pressure line?

A

Acts to close the turbine control valves whenever the FWPT is tripped.
This prevents an uncontrolled start which could occur since on turbine reset the LP and HP stop valves immediately go wide open

24
Q

what controls the speed of the FWPT?

A

Main feedwater control system

25
Q

What system is the Feedwater control system part of?

A

Reactor control system

26
Q

What are the 2 normal sources of steam to the feed pump turbines?

A

main steam and reheat steam from the MT system MSRs

27
Q

What is the 3rd source of steam for the MFPTs?

A

Aux steam

28
Q

what is the flow path for the MSR reheater to the feed pump?

A

Flow thru the low pressure stop valve and low pressure control valve. ‘D’ MSR

29
Q

What is the flow path for the main steam to the feed pump?

A

flows thru the high pressure stop valve and high pressure control valve

30
Q

What is the normal source of steam?

A

low pressure reheat

31
Q

When would we use high pressure steam in MFWP?

A

During startup and to supplement the low pressure system during periods of light MT loads or overload on the FWPT

32
Q

When would we use AS for feed pumps?

A

Testing

33
Q

What ultimately controls the stop and control valves?

A

FWPT control oil

34
Q

what system provides shaft sealing steam to A and B FWPTs?

A

Turbine steam seal and drain system (GS)

35
Q

What cools the feed pump oil system?

A

NC

36
Q

Where do the FWPTs exhaust to?

A

‘A’ and ‘B’ condenser reheat trays and into the ‘c’ condenser

37
Q

Where are the FWPT drains directed to?

A

‘A’ and ‘B’ condenser sections

38
Q

how many wheels make up the feed pump turbine?

A

6

39
Q

Where are the thrust wear trip and overspeed trip governors located?

A

HP end of the rotor and are part of the rotor assembly

40
Q

where is the engagement gear for the turning gear located?

A

exhaust end of the rotor

41
Q

What is the normal position of the turbine drain valves under full steam load?

A

normally closed

42
Q

If the turbine drain valves are closed, how do we remove condensate during normal ops?

A

They are provided with a continuous bypass drain line thru an orifice

43
Q

What is the purpose of the feed pump turning gear?

A

to provide low speed turning of the rotor for cooling or heating up to prevent warping

44
Q

What is the interlock associated with the feed pump turning gear and what is it trying to prevent?

A

2 pressure switches, 1 monitioring oil pressure on the feedwater pump bearings and the other monitor the oil pressure to the turbine bearings.
a low pressure in either switch will prevent the turning gear motor from operating.
This interlock is for bearing protection.

45
Q

Where is the feed pump turning gear normally operated from?

A

control room

46
Q

What are the various FWPT trips?

A

1)Turbine bearing low oil pressure
2)Pump bearing low oil pressure
3)Exhaust vacuum low
4)Feedwater pump suction pressure low
5)Feedwater pump discharge pressure high
6)Thrust bearing wear high

47
Q

What are the three feedwater turbine thrust bearing test switches?

A

Thrust wear device test switch
Active thrust wear test switch
Inactive thrust wear switch

48
Q

What nominal set point is the mechanical overspeed trip tested to?

A

110%

49
Q

What is another way to test out the overspeed without getting up to that speed setpoint?

A

A jet of oil, controlled by a solenoid valve, can be sprayed into the emergency governor housing to unbalance the plunger and actuate the emergency trip at speeds up to rated

50
Q

During a startup, when is the first main feed pump started?

A

Prior to exceeding a reactor power of 3% which is the capacity of 1 AFP

51
Q

When is the 2nd MFWP started?

A

50% power

52
Q

Prior to startup what must be done with the Condensate/feedwater systems to improve the water quality?

A

Long path recirc

53
Q

During normal operation when can i secure one of the FWPs?

A

If plant load decreases below 62%

54
Q

What is meant by “Standby” when referring to the MFWPs?

A

The pump and turbine are in a warmed and ready condition

55
Q

After each shutdown, why is the main feedwater system placed in long path recirc?

A

For shutdown chemistry control and system cooldown

56
Q

What will happen if i lose a feedwater pump while at 100% power?

A

Reactor power cutback, lowering reactor power and turbine power to within capacity of a single main feedwater pump

57
Q

What will happen if we lose a FWP while at 100% power?

A

Reactor would trip on low S/G level.
S/G level would have to be maintained by aux feed system
