Q

What is the purpose of the SGSVs?

A
  • Ensures only 1 SG will blowdown in a steam rupture, even when 1 SGSV fails.
  • Minimize positive reactivity from RCS cooldown
  • Limit Containment pressure for steam rupture inside Containment.

17
Q

Where are the TDAFP Turbine steam shutoff valves located?

A

2 and 3 SGs after the MS venturis and before the Safties/PORVs

18
Q

How are the PORVs operated if ctrl power and ctrl air/N2 is lost?

A

By a handwheel on the valve

19
Q

How do the SGSVs open and close?

A
  • Hydraulic for normal opening and closing
  • Steam to close in emergency
20
Q

What does 3.7.4D SG PORVs (Mode 4 when SGs relied upon for heat removal) state?

A

A

Open

24
Q

Which ONE of the following describes the function of the LOCKOUT position associated with each Steam Generator Stop Valve (SGSV) Dump Valve control switch?

A. Prevents the operator from opening the SGSV Dump Valves after the receipt of a Hi-Hi Containment Pressure Signal.

B. Allows the operator to close the SGSV Dump Valves after the receipt of a Hi-Hi Containment Pressure Signal.

C. Prevents a Hi-Hi Containment Pressure Signal from closing the associated SGSV and allows testing of the circuitry.

D. Allows the operator to open a SGSV hydraulically after the receipt of a Hi-Hi Containment Pressure Signal.

A

B. Allows the operator to close the SGSV Dump Valves after the receipt of a Hi-Hi Containment Pressure Signal.

25
Q

How is the SGSV held open/closed?

A

Detents

26
Q

Where are the U1 Main Steam orifices located?

A

27
Q

Where are the U2 Main Steam orifices located?

A

Main Steam Header right after the SGSVs

28
Q

How many rad monitors and detectors for the PORVs?

A

2 monitors, and 4 detectors

29
Q

What does the operability of the Main Steam Safety Valves ensure?

A

secondary steam pressure will be limited to 110% of desired pressure during most severe anticipated operational transient

30
Q

When are the PORV Rad Monitors considered INOPERABLE per TRM 8.3.8?

A
  • If PORV Manual Isoaltion Valves is closed
  • If PORV controller is in manual
31
Q

When is Reactor Nitrogen System needed to maintain SG PORV Operability per TS 3.7.4?

A

When CAC or CD EDG is unavailable

32
Q

When is a SG PORV considered OPERABLE?

A

33
Q

What are the main steam pressures for both units at ~50% power?

A

Unit 1 ~885 psig
Unit 2 ~900 psig
