Precourse Class Study Notes Flashcards
What is the hydro testing pressure for the pressurizer?
3107 psig
What is the pressurizer pressure safety limit?
2735 psig
What are the power supplies to DC bus 111?
131X via battery charger,
Battery
211 via crosstie breaker
How many control and shutdown banks of control Rods are there?
25 rods in 4 control banks.
28 rods in 5 shutdown banks
What is the difference between Step Counters and Rod Position Indication?
The step counters only count steps not actual position and Rod Position Indication is accurate to within 6 steps
What feeds into and out of the Logic Cabinets for Rod Drive?
Reactor Control Unit feeds into the Logic Cabinet which then feeds into the Power Cabinet

What are category I SSCs?
Structures Systems and Components that are designed to remain functional in the event of: Seismic event, Tornado, Maximum probable flood, missile impact, accident internal to the plant
What is the maximum internal pressure and temperature for containment per design basis?
50 psig and 280 degF
How are the Intermediate Range NIs gamma compensated?
The gamma rays interact with the gas in both the inner and outer tube. The neutrons only interact with the Boron in the outer tube. The induced voltage from the inner tube is opposed to the voltage from the outer tube, thus sending a reading of only the voltage from neutron interaction.
What is the set point and flow of the pressurizer safety valves?
420,000 lbm/hr
2460 psig
What is the capacity of the pressurizer heaters?
Variable bank Group C at 400 KW
Backup heater banks A,B,D at 1400 KW
What are the power supplies to the pressurizer heaters?
A&D from Bus 143
B&C from Bus 144
What is the FSAR design basis of the DG?
Sufficient number of DGs to ensure adequate electrical supply to operate ESF loads coincident with:
-LOOP
-Failure of one DG
-DBA LOCA
-Forced shutdown of the other unit
Each DG is housed in a Class I structure with oil storage for 7 days following DBA
What is the purpose of RPS?
Initiates reactor trip:
- To prevent fuel damage during an anticipated operational transient
- Limit core damage for infrequent faults
- Protect the RCS pressure boundary for limiting faults
What is the definition of operable?
When a device is capable of completing its safety design and all related components are also able to perform their safety related function
