Main and Reheat Steam Flashcards
What are the safety related functions of the Main Steam system?
- Supply steam to the TDAFW Pump
- Control the plant cooldown rate during a station blackout using the SG PORVs
- Allow rapid cooldown following a SGTR.
- Provide isolation capability following a HELB.
What the pressure set points for the SG PORVs and MSSVs?
2 Safeties @ 1065 psig
2 Safeties @ 1075 psig
1 Safety @ 1085 psig
1 SG PORV @ 1025 psig
What percent steam flow are each safety rated for?
5.5% steam flow ea
Why do we have PORVs?
- Prevents lifting safeties
- Used to cooldown when steam dumps are unavailable
What percent steam flow are each PORV rated for?
2.5% steam flow ea
In regards to the Main Steam System, what will cause a SI?
- SG less than 500 psi on 2 SGs (1/1)
- Steam Line DP greater than 100 psi, 1 SG lower than 2 others
What causes Steam Line Isolation (SLI)?
- 2.8# in Lwr Ctmnt
- SG Pressure Low
(500# 1/1 on 2 SGs) - High Steam Flow with Low-Low Tavg (541°F)
(1.42E6 (1.6E6) pph at 0%, variable with power 1/2 on 2/4 SGs) - Manual
How will the SGSV dump valves fail on loss of ctrl power?
Closed, causing the SGSV to remain open
How will the SGSV dump valves fail on loss of ctrl air?
Open, which will close the SGSV
Are the rad monitors downstream of the PORVs operable if the PORVs are isolated?
NO
Also INOP if controller is taken to manual and closed
What is the purpose of the SGSVs?
- 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.
WIll the SGSVs close on a SLI?
Yes, in 8 sec
How are the SGSVs interlocked to prevent opening them with a SLI signal?
Hydraulics are interlocked to prevent opening with a standing SLI signal
How do you clear the SGSV interlock to allow closing of the SGSV dump valves?
Take the ctrl switch to lockout
What are the MS bypass header loads?
- MFPs
- MSR High Pressure Steam
- Steam Dumps
- Aux Steam
- Low Flow FW Preheating
- Turbine Steam Seals (U2 Only)
