NNI Flashcards
NNI system function
Provides alarms, indications, and control signals for system variable such as temp, press, flow, and level.
Encompasses all instrumentation other than Nuclear Instrumentation.
discuss a Type A variable
provides info req’d to allow operators to take manual actions for which no auto control is provided AND
are req’d for a safety system to do its safety function
Discuss Type B Variable
provide info to indicate whether plant safety functions are being accomplished such as:
- reactivity control
- core cooling
- maintain RCS integrity
- maintain containment integrity
Discuss Type C Variable
Provide info to indicate potential for breach of barriers to fission product release.
Discuss Type D variables
provide info to indicate the operations of ind. safety systems
Discuss Type E variables
provide info req’d to determine the magnitude of the release of radioactive materials and for continuously assessing such releases
