Q

Which FW heaters on Unit 1 receive HP steam?

A

Heaters 5 and 6

17
Q

Which FW heaters on Unit2 receive HP steam?

A

Heaters 4, 5, and 6

18
Q

Can you manually close the MFP ELOs?

A
  • Yes, you can manually close MFP ELOs but only if the MFP stop valves are closed
19
Q

Does the U-2 DC Lube Oil Pp go thru the Lube Oil Cooler?

A
  • No, the DC Pump bypasses lube oil cooler
20
Q

For a FWI, is the closure of the FRVs Train Specific?

A

No, either train of RPS will get all 4 FRVs

21
Q

For a FWI, is the closure of the FMOs Train Specific?

A

Yes! Interlocked to the Rx Trip Breakers, so if one doesn’t go open, you don’t get that train of FMOs to close

22
Q

What is the purpose of the Air Assist Check Valves in the MFW System?

A

keeps check valve out of flow stream

23
Q

What is the purpose of the MFP Seal Water FRV?

A

Maintains seal water leak off temperature at 150°F

24
Q

What are the MFP Speed Control Inputs?

A

SG Pressure, FP Discharge Pressure and Total Steam Flow

25
Q

How is the Main Feed Pump DP calculated?

A

using the difference between the Lowest FW Pressure and the Highest Steam Pressure (bypass header)

26
Q

If packing is adjusted on a valve, could there be any tech spec implications?

A

Yes, if the valve is required to be timed, the stroke time may not be met

27
Q

While at 100% power onditions, MFP seal water can be normally supplied by _____ discharge and Alternately supplied by ____ discharge.

A

CBP
Seal water pump

28
Q

What is the purpose of low flow feedwater heating?

A

To reduce thermal stress on the feedwater elbows at the SG nozzle area

29
Q

What are the MFP LO Coolers cooled by?

A

NESW

30
Q

Is a FWI Signal a DIRECT signal to automatically trip the MFP?

A

NO!!! It is not a direct signal.

31
Q

What indications/Systems should be checked prior to opening MFP ELOs? Why?

A

Ensure that the FW pump oil system is operating to prevent damage to the FW pumps due to condensate flow spinning the pumps.

32
Q

What is the Low Condenser Vacuum trip for Unit 1 MFP?

A

20” Hg

33
Q

What is the Low Condenser Vacuum Trip for Unit 2 MFP?

A

15”

34
Q

What is the loss of suction pressure trip for the MFPs?

A

Less than or euqal to 180 psig for 5 secs
