PCCW Flashcards
pccw
STATE the functions of the Primary Component Cooling Water (CC) System
- It removes heat from radioactive and potentially radioactive systems and components during normal and emergency plant evolutions.
- It acts as an intermediate barrier between radioactive fluid systems and the environment during normal and emergency plant evolutions.
LIST the major components of the CC system and EXPLAIN their functions
- PCCW Pumps
- PCCW Heat Exchangers
- PCCW Temperature Control Valves
- Head Tank
- Radiation Detectors
- Flow Indicators
LIST the essential heat loads served by the CC system
- RHR pumps (seal coolers)
- RHR heat exchangers
- Centrifugal Charging Pumps (oil coolers)
- SI pumps (oil coolers)
- CBS pumps (seal coolers)
- CBS heat exchangers
- Containment enclosure cooling units
STATE the normal CC system temperature and flowrate
- Train (A) 65 - 75°F.
- Train (B) 65 - 78°F
- Total system flow is normally about 10,500 gpm per loop
EXPLAIN the purpose for the CC pump trip on CC supply header over temperature.
- Because of the seismic supports on the pump, it is anticipated that the pump and associated piping may not be able to expand properly at high temperatures.
- Therefore, if the supply header temperature reaches 135°F, the running pump will trip.
STATE the system and method used to provide makeup water to the CC head tanks
Demin water system
LIST the power supply to each CC pump
- Train A (P-11A & C) 4160 KV Bus 5
* Train B (P-11B & D) 4160 KV Bus 6
LIST the two (2) locations where a CC pump can be operated, and DESCRIBE the changes when control is shifted to LOCAL
Pumps are controlled either locally at the pump switchgear or remotely at the MCB.
• When the pump is being operated locally, all pump automatic control or interlock functions and the high temperature trip are bypassed, including the emergency power sequencing system control signals.
DESCRIBE three flow arrangements used in the CC loops and EXPLAIN their uses
- Automatically throttled heat loads-Used when desired temperatures are required
- Manually throttled heat loads-Used when a constant flow rate is required
- Unrestricted flow heat loads-Used when the component does not depend on a PCCW temperature band.
LIST the major components of the Thermal Barrier Cooling Water System
- 2 -100% capacity pumps
- 2 Heat Exchangers in series
- 1 Full flow head Tank
EXPLAIN what happens in the Thermal Barrier Cooling Water System if there is a high outlet flow, and DESCRIBE the possible effects
A flow transmitter on the cooling water outlet would sense the increased flow and automatically shut the outlet isolation valve.
DESCRIBE the process of swapping CC pumps
- Placing CC P 11C In Service And CC P 11A In Standby (OS1012.03)
- As directed by US, PERFORM PCCW pump C prestarts. (Protected: Ref. 5.8)
- START CC P 11C, PCCW PUMP C.
- UNLOCK and CLOSE CC V 5, CC P 11A discharge isolation.
- STOP CC P 11A, PCCW PUMP A, and ALLOW control switch to return to AUTO.
- OPEN and LOCK CC V 5, CC P 11A discharge isolation.
- Independently VERIFY CC V 5, CC P 11A discharge isolation, is locked open.
DESCRIBE the automatic responses of each CC loop to the following signals: "T" "P" Low Head Tank Low-Low Head Tank
“T”-Isolates non essential loads outside containment. Supports initiation of CC to safeguards loads
“P”-Isolates containment to support CBS Heat Exchanger
Low Head Tank-Try to isolate leak!
Low-Low Head Tank-Try to isolate leak!
EXPLAIN the manual operation of the CC HX valve temperature controllers, and STATE the main reason for concern if the CC temperature control valve(s) are in manual
- Accomplished by taking the controller out of auto by depressing the manual pushbutton on the M/A station at the MCB
- Depress the desired output push buttons to change temperature
- This will control both the HX output and bypass valves
- Concerns
- Temperature within the system will change as heat loads are added and removed.
EXPLAIN how to locally operate the CC HX temperature control valves.
- Local Operator Aid
- Turn H/W until red arrows on clutch plate face line up
- Unscrew locking pin on clutch lever and engage clutch halves using lever-lock lever by screwing in pin
- Immediately place manual / auto valve to manual position
- Proceed with manual operation of valve using h/w
