20
Q

How does HF interface with Fire Protection ?

A

-HF is big part of safe plant shutdown during a fire
-HF system has fire dampers
-HF essential AFU have water hookups to deluge fire extinguish nozzles in the charcoal bed

21
Q

How does HF interface with Aux. Building HVAC ?

A

-HF provides Essential Exhaust & filtration for Aux. Building below 100’
THIS IS SAFETY RELATED

22
Q

How does HF interface with Instrument Air(IA) ?

A

IA provides air to 8 safety related isolation dampers in Norm. Ventilation System

23
Q

How does HF interface with Freeze Protection(QJ) ?

A

-Air Washer Basin is drained

24
Q

How does HF interface with Radiation Monitoring(SQ)?

A

-SQ provides monitoring of HF exhaust
-SQ could actuate a FBEVAS
-HF system provides flow signal input to SQ system for signal processing from Radiation Monitoring

25
Q

What’re the 3 radiation monitors ? What does each Radiation Monitor do ?

A

RU-31:Monitors Fuel Pool & generates FBEVAS on high Radiation Levels
RU-145:Monitors Fuel Building exhaust & generates FBEVAS
RU-146:High Range monitor monitors exhaust at higher level(Safety Related)

26
Q

How many supply AHUs have does the normal HVAC have ?

A

Two 50% capacity supply AHUs

27
Q

Where does Fuel Building Supply fan draw its air from ?

A

Draws air from outside through AHU which cools is adiabatically

28
Q

When will the Heaters turn on down stream of the supply fan ? When will it automatically turn off ?

A

-Heaters will turn on when temp in Normal Exhaust Plenum drops below 65F
-Heaters automatically turn off during low flow conditions

29
Q

Where does discharge of Normal Supply AHUs go to after the heaters ?

A

-Will discharge into a common header & penetrates fuel building
-Inside fuel building ducts split into two, each duct with a CLASS pneumatic isolation damper
