39
Capacity of 688 FP fuel tanks?
500 gallon diesel fuel tank on each 688 FP
40
Why must 688 diesels be continuously monitored when running?
No overpressure protection on the system. Need to prevent runaway diesel.
41
Why are there no relief valves on the 688 diesel fire pump systems?
EFIS - defeat EFIS function if a relief valve opens and dumps water prior to being injected in the reactor
42
How to start 688 diesels on the batteries?
Manual Crank 1 and 2 to start on each battery bank.
43
From where do you fill 688 diesel FP fuel tanks?
Tanks are filled from inside of the building on the east and west sides.
44
What trips exist on diesel FPs during testing?
Engine Overspeed Low Oil Pressure High Temperature
45
What trips exist on diesel FP following low pressure autostart?
Overspeed only.
46
Where are the overspeed sensors installed?
Mounted directly on the diesel engine.
47
What provides freeze protection for TRA-781 and 688 fire equipment?
Recirc pump and heater 25 GPM pump starts at 40F ambient Two 15 kW heaters heat automatically Recirc to 781.
48
List the uses of the firewater at ATR.
ATR Emergency Fire Water Injection (EFIS) Fire Fighting Canal Fire Water Makeup Backup enterprise diesel cooling (via PCV-4-7 @ 50 lbs utility cooling water pressure) Yard watering Reactor Spray System
49
What is the purpose of the firewater reactor spray system?
Air-wash down to decrease concentration of FPs No credit taken for this system in the SAR Not an ESF or safety system.
50
List the Firewater Pump start times.
688-M-1 DFP -> 5 sec 688-M-2 DFP -> 15 sec #1 DFP -> 25 sec #2 DFP -> 35 sec EFP -> 45 sec All start at 65 psig
51
Why a 10 second delay between FP starts?
Prevents all pumps starting at the same time.
52
Draw Critical Firewater Path.
53
what is the design for the Reactor Room Spray System?
Reduce Iodine concentration in the building air to 1% of original value in 10 hours.

Bottom Head EFIS through PCV-4-7.
57
Describe firewater emergency interface with Canal level.
670-E-510 monitors canal level and injects firewater if level gets to 8'. Normal is 19.8'.
58

67
Types of detectors in our fire protection system.
Ionization Smoke Detector Photoelectric Smoke Detector Thermal Heat Detector Heat Actuating Device
68
Pros and Cons of Ionization Smoke Detectors
PROS: Good at detecting small amounts of smoke Able to detect gases before fire fully develops CONS: Spurious alarms
69
Pros and Cons of Photoelectric Smoke Detectors
PROS: Good at detecting smoky fires-smoldering CONS: False alarms
70
Why use heat detector instead of smoke detector?
Normally used in dirty environments or where dense smoke is produced. Less sensitive. Thermistors decrease in resistance as temp rises.

Immediate discharge of halon system. Overrides all controls, including abort switch
73
How does the halon abort button work?
Delays discharge if activated before 30 second TD. Must be continually pressed to inhibit the system. Stops the timer. Releasing initiates a 10 second timer before activation. Abort button can be operated multiple times, with each operation resetting the discharge timer to 10 seconds.
74
