  • Pzr Low Level at 17%
  • Overcurrent
23
Q

What are the important pressure setpoints for the Pzr?

A 
2735# - Max Limit
2485# - Safeties Open
2385# - Rx Trip
2335# - PORVS open
2235# - Normal Ops
2200# - DNB
1950# - Rx Trip
1910# - P11 Block 
1775# - SI
24
Q

What can happen if Channel III (NPP-153) is controlling channel for Pzr # Ctrl and it fails low?

A
  • all Pzr PORVs will be Inoperable and the only protection for Overpressure on the Pzr will be the safeties
25
Q

What are the Pzr PORV block Valves for?

A
  • Isolate the PORV line in case of PORV leakage or if they fail to close
26
Q

Where does the PRT drain to?

A
  • RCDT pump Suction
27
Q

The following plant conditions exist:

Unit 1 is at 100% power
Pressurizer level channel NLP-151 is selected for control and fails LOW.

Which ONE of the following describes the plant response to the pressurizer level channel failure? ASSUME no operator action is taken.

a. Charging flow decreases, actual level decreases, orifice isolation valves close, letdown isolates, and VCT level increases.

b. Charging flow remains the same, letdown isolates, and backup heaters turn on if actual level increases 5% above program.

c. Letdown isolates, charging flow increases, seal flow increases, actual level increases, and VCT level decreases.

d. Letdown isolates and heaters energize to restore pressurizer pressure.

A
  • c. Letdown isolates, charging flow increases, seal flow increases, actual level increases, and VCT level decreases.
28
Q

Given the following indications on Unit 2:

  • Reactor Power 97 percent
  • RCS pressure 2260#
  • PRZ level channel select switch in position 1 (Channel 3 control, Channel 2 bistable)
  • PRZ level 53 percent
  • PRZ level recorder select switch in position 1 (Channel 1)
  • PRZ liquid level transmitter NLP-152 (Channel 2) fails low

WHAT is the immediate effect on the plant?

a. Recorder indicates level < level Ref., charging flow control valve QRV-251 opens fully, all backup heaters on.

b. Recorder indicates level = level Ref., charging flow is unchanged, all heaters are off, all orifice isolation valves shut, QRV-111 shut.

c. Recorder indicates level < level Ref., charging flow control valve QRV-251 closes, all heaters are off, all orifice isolation valves shut, QRV-112 shut.

d. Recorder indicates level = level Ref., charging flow control valve QRV-251 opens fully, all backup heaters on, all orifice isolation valves shut, QRV-112 shut.

A
  • b. Recorder indicates level = level Ref., charging flow is unchanged, all heaters are off, all orifice isolation valves shut, QRV-111 shut.

A
  • d. letdown isolates and heaters turn off, reactor trips on high level.

Which ONE of the following describes the effect on the plant if QRV-251 Charging Flow Controller remains in MANUAL and power is increased to 100%?

A. Charging flow will RISE.

B. Charging flow will LOWER.

C. PRZ level will LOWER.

D. PRZ level will RISE.

A
  • D. PRZ level will RISE.
31
Q

Unit 2 was operating at 95% power when a load rejection occurred.
Shortly after the load rejection the following plant conditions exist:
RCS Tavg is 572°F
Pressurizer Level is 54%
Pressurizer vapor temperature is 650°F
Pressurizer liquid temperature is 649°F

Which ONE of the following is the current status of the pressurizer based on these conditions?
(Reference the steam tables)

A. Pressurizer PORVs and Spray valves are full OPEN.

B. Pressurizer Spray valves are modulated OPEN.

C. Pressurizer proportional heaters are modulated ON.

D. Pressurizer Backup and proportional heaters are fully ON.

A
  • D. Pressurizer Backup and proportional heaters are fully ON.

ANSWER:
Pressurizer vapor space of 650°F equates to 2193 psig (2208 psia). This is below the 2210 psig setpoint to fully energize the backup heaters.
