Q

Concerning the Containment CEDM Normal ACU, what happens if a pair of operating fans tripped?

A

Low D/P across the fans are sensed, which will automatically start the other pair of fans after a 120 second time delay as long as its control switch is in the “Normal After Stop” position

22
Q

What is the purpose of the Containment CEDM Normal ACU fan time delay?

A

Allows non-operating fans to come to a stop if the back draft or suction damper were leaking, which could lead to the fans spinning backwards

23
Q

What happens to the Containment CEDM Normal ACU upon a receipt of a SIAS?

A

Stops all operating fans, which can be restarted after they are placed in override

24
Q

How is the Containment CEDM Normal ACU affected by a LOP?

A

The pair of fans that was running prior to the LOP will be started by the load sequencer

25
Q

What is the purpose of the Containment Reactor Cavity Cooling Fans and how many fans are there?

A

Directs air from the lower containment volume to the reactor cavity for cooling to prevent cement deterioration

Consists of four fans

26
Q

Where do the Containment Reactor Cavity Cooling Fans take suction from and where are they located?

A

80’ of containment

27
Q

How many Containment Reactor Cavity Cooling Fans are normally running? What is the capacity of each fan?

A

Two fans, one from each pair (Ex A and C, or B and D)

50%

28
Q

What system provides power to the Containment Reactor Cavity Cooling Fans?

A

NH (M19 and M20)

29
Q

Where is the only location that I could verify the remote position of the Containment Reactor Cavity Cooling Fan damper?

A

Can only be verified at the MCC supplying power to the damper

30
Q

What is the auto feature associated with the Containment Reactor Cavity Cooling Fans?

A

Provided between ‘A’ and ‘B’ and the ‘C’ and ‘D’ fans

Ex. If ‘A’ fan is in AUTO and a low D/P is sensed across the ‘B’ fan, ‘A’ fan will auto start after 60 seconds

31
Q

What is the purpose of the Containment Pressurizer Space Exhaust Fans? Where do the fans take suction and exhaust from?

A

Two fans that ventilate the pressurizer space within the pressurizer missile shield

draws air in from the bottom of the space and discharges at the top

32
Q

How many Containment Pressurizer Space Exhaust fans are normally running?

A

One, while the other is in AUTO

33
Q

What are the power supplies for the Containment Pressurizer Space Exhaust fans?

A

Fans will stop due to SIAS load shed

34
Q

What is the auto feature associated with the Containment Pressurizer Space Exhaust Fans?

A

If ‘A’ fan is in AUTO and a low D/P is sensed across the ‘B’ fan, the ‘A’ fan will auto start after 60 seconds

Same would occur if ‘B’ was in AUTO and ‘A’ was running

42
Q

While doing rounds, you notice that the MSSS Ventilation Supply fan motor is operating, but the blades are not spinning. What happened?

A

Fans are belt driven; the belt has broken or come loose

43
Q

Explain the operation of the RU-1

A

Located in the Aux building, it draws a suction sample from the 95’ level of containment for monitoring

After monitoring is complete, the sample is returned to containment

44
Q

Describe the RU-1 containment penetration isolation valves. What system powers them? When will they fail closed?

A

Two installed on each penetration, one inside containment and the other outside

Each valve is class powered and will fail close upon a loss of power (PK), will close on CIAS

Suction line – UV-47 (B train) and UV-46 (A train)

Return line – UV-44 (B train) and UV-45 (A train)

45
Q

Concerning the Containment Normal ACUs, how are the fans paired together?

A

A and B

C and D

46
Q

Where do the Containment Pre-Access Filtration AFUs discharge to?

A

the upper portion of containment

47
Q

What is the capacity of each Containment CEDM Normal ACU fan?

A

50%

48
Q

What happens when the Containment CEDM Normal ACU control switch is turned to the start position?

A

ACU fans start, intake damper and NC system cooling water supply valve both open

49
Q

How are the CEDM normal ACU intake dampers physically operated?

A

motor operated

50
Q

What is the tech spec associated with the Containment HVAC system?

A
