A

PK-Class 125 VDC

18
Q

What is the Essential standby power source for the Fuel Building HVAC system?

A

DG/PE- (PE is the designator for the electrical side of the DG)

19
Q

What CH system tanks vent to the Fuel Building Normal HVAC discharge system?

A

The Refueling Water Tank and CVCS Holdup Tank (HUT)

20
Q

What is the water source for the Fuel Building Normal AHU Air Washer?

A

Domestic Water DS

21
Q

What Appendix R safe shutdown features does Fuel Building HVAC have?

A

Fire dampeners and Essential AFU have water hook-ups to deluge fire extinguishing nozzles in the charcoal bed.

22
Q

What is the safety related function for the fuel building HVAC?

A

It allows exhaust and filtration for aux bldg below 100’

23
Q

What operates the 8 safety-related pneumatically operated isolation dampers?

A

Instrument Air

24
Q

How to we prepare for freezing in the fuel building HVAC system?

A

water supply to the Fuel Building Air Washer is shut off, the Air Washer Water Pump is stopped, and the Air Washer basin is drained.

25
Q

What happens in the Fuel Building when a SIAS occurs?

A

Selected HF fans, dampers are actuated
HF Essential Exhaust AFU fan Starts
HF Essential Exhaust AFU dampers reposition to take suction from the Auxiliary Building below the 100’ elevation

26
Q

What happens in the Fuel Building when a FBEVAS occurs?

A

HF Normal Supply AHU Stops
HF Normal Supply Dampers Close
HF Normal Exhaust Fan Stops
HF Normal Exhaust Dampers Close
HF Essential Exhaust AFU fan Starts
HF Essential Exhaust Dampers align to take suction from the Fuel Building

27
Q

Which radiation monitors are in the fuel building HVAC system upper levels?

A

RU-146

28
Q

Which radiation monitors in the fuel building HVAC can actuate a FBEVAS?

29
Q

Which radiation monitor is in the fuel building vent exhaust?

A

RU-145

30
Q

Which radiation monitor is in the fuel pool area?

A

RU-31

31
Q

What is a FBEVAS?

A

It actuates when there is high radiation levels in the air of the fuel building, ventilation or fuel pool.

32
Q

What is the design of the normal fuel building HVAC?

A

two 50% capacity AHUs
two 50% normal exhaust fans
Normal plant operation, both supply AHUs and both exhaust fans running
Exhaust fans discharge more air than the Supply fans intake
