PC- Fuel Pool Flashcards
How does the Fuel pool cooling interface with RD (radioactive waste drain)?
receives PC equipment drainage
How does PC clean up interface with SR (solid radwaste)?
receives PC clean up IX spent resin
What is the advantage of the QOCD?
reducing time and dose associated with opening and closing the fuel transfer tube
Where is the refueling pool located?
containment
How does the SFP interface with FH (fuel handling and storage)?
conveys fuel assemblies to and from SFP, stores assemblies in storage racks, provides spent fuel cask handling and storage
What would happen if SFP cooling was lost?
SFP temperature would rise
start losing water level to evaporation and damage stored fuel
What happens if PC clean up loses SR (solid radwaste)?
cant transfer resin to radwaste
will be required to transfer resin to truck bay or lined container
What is the D/P limit on the PC cleanup IXs?
350” H2O
What is the purpose of the fuel pool cooling system?
cool the SFP
What is the FLEX equipment for the SFP
level indication by control room and in aux building
FLEX nitrogen bottles as back up to class N2 bottles for back up to IA in gate seals
external make up sources to SFP
How does the Fuel pool cooling interface with PG?
FP cooling pump power
What happens when PC clean up loses NH?
PC clean up pumps lose power
Does the fuel transfer tube see containment pressure during reactor operation?
no
How does the SFP interface with NK?
annunciator panel
What forms the class pressure boundary between the fuel building and containment?
QOCD
How does the SFP interface with QA?
underwater lights
What is the primary purpose of the spent fuel pool?
to store used fuel after its been removed from the reactor
What is the purpose of the fuel transfer tube gate valve?
isolates the SFP from the refueling pool
describe the fuel pool cooling pump controls
3 position switch for each pump
discharge indication is on SFP control panel
high and low discharge pressure alarms
What are the entry requirements for the high risk area around the SFP?
quality log entries
FME control
What purpose do the siphon breakers in the PC clean up system serve?
in the case of a line break, they will break siphon in the pipes coming out of the SFP at the minimum water level
What is the purpose of the SDC augment to the fuel pool cooling system?
When temperature is approaching 125*F in the fuel pool, one SDC train is lined up to assist in cooling the pool
How does the Fuel pool cooling interface with EW?
Back up flow for NC
cools one HX during outage
How does PC clean up interface with RD (radioactive waste drain)?
receives equipment drainage
What happens when the SFP transfer canal gate is removed and the transfer canal level reaches 138’ 3”?
flood new fuel elevator cable tray
How does the SFP interface with IA?
pressurizes SFP gate seals
What is the purpose of the new fuel elevator?
lower new fuel from operating floor to the bottom of the pool
How is the spent fuel pool monitored?
yardstick type level device with a camera on it
high and low level alarms
digital level indication
The gate seals on the sides of the SFP gates are Q class and pressurized with:
instrument air
nitrogen back up
What is the purpose of the fuel transfer tube?
connects the transfer canal to containment for transferring spent and new fuel in and out of containment
What does the layout of the fuel in the spent fuel pool prevent?
so the mass doesn’t go critical
