Q

What does the Flywheel do on the RCP?

A
  • helps remove decay heat immediately after trip ***

- increases pump inertia which causes a longer coast down time to help prevent DNB

Q

What is the seal injection flowpath of the RCPs?

A
  1. Seal water enters below Radial Bearing and #1 Seal (Normally 8 gpm per RCP)
  2. 5 gpm flows down RCP shaft into the RCS
  3. 3 gpm flows up thru #1 seal **
  4. 3 gph flow up thru #2 seal **
  5. 100 cc/hr flows up thru #3 seal **

Q

What is the seal return flow path?

A
  • # 1 Seal - Seal Water hx to CCP suction (or VCT) **
  • # 2 Seal - RCP Standpipe and to the RCDT.
  • # 3 Seal - Outlet of RCDT

Q

What are the purpose of the labyrinth seals?

A
  • Minimize thermal barrier heat exchanger bypass flow

- Minimizes RCS leakage to the seal package on a failure of the seals

Q

What is the purpose of the Anti-Rotation device (Ratchet Plate)

A
  • Minimize reverse flow through an idle pump

- Lowers starting current when starting RCP with one RCPs already running

Q

What has to be done if you lost CCW to the RCPs or if the plant has had a Phase B actuation?

Q

Which ONE of the following completes the following statements?
The RCP Bearing Lift Pump WHITE light will illuminate (1) after sufficient oil pressure is developed. The RCP Bearing Lift pump (2) required to be started on a RCP Shutdown.

(1) 			        (2)
A. immediately 	is
B. immediately 	is NOT
C. 2 minutes 		is
D. 2 minutes 		is NOT
A
  • B. (1) Immed (2) Is NOT
17
Q

What happens if QCM-350 isolates with regard to seal return?

A
  • # 1 Seal return is isolated and SV-50 will open at 150# and relieves to PRT which keeps seal leakoff available
18
Q

What cools the RCP if there is a failure of seal injection to the seals?

A
  • RCS then cools the RCP by leaking past the labyrinth seal and past the thermal barrier
19
Q

What does the shutdown seal do?

A
  • Actuates when seal leakoff temp exceeds 250°F
  • Rated for 24 hours
  • Must actuate on stopped shaft
  • Limits leakage to 1 gpm
20
Q

If there is a loss of CCW to the thermal barrier, does the RCP need to be tripped?

A
  • No, as long as there is still seal flow and all parameters stay within spec
21
Q

If there is a loss of CHW to the RCP motor air coolers, does it affect the operation of the RCPs?

A
  • It does not affect RCP operation directly, however, it does have a large impact on cntmt temp. A loss of the CHW cntmt header (removes cooling from CLVs and CUVs) requires a reactor trip and cooldown below 541°F to remove three RCPs
22
Q

If QRV-150 is opened during normal operation (HOT), what is the risked associated with doing that?

A
  • It increases the risk of thermal shocking the RCP shaft.
23
Q

If you have a rupture of the thermal barrier, where will it most likely indicate first if its a small leak?

A
  • CCW Surge Tank Lvl
24
Q

If CCM-452 fails closed, what cooling do you lose?

A
  • CCW to your RCP bearing oil coolers
25
Q

If rupture disc blows on PRT, what is your indication?

A
  • PORV outlet temp decreases
