RCP flow rate?
-88gpm per RCP
RCP Power supplies
- A RCP - 4KV1
- B RCP - 4KV4
- C RCP - 4KV 2
RCP motor amps
- 600-650 amps on hot run
- 750 amps on cold run (start)
Bearing Oil Lift Pump power supplies
- A & C - MCC-2
- B - MCC- 1
Bearing Oil lift pump purpose and infromation
- Sends oil to upper and lower shoes of thrust bearing simultaneously.
- Lubricates the thrust bearings
- RCP must not be started unless oil lift pump has been running for 2 mins.
- Must have lift pump running and 600psig to start a RCP.
RCP motor space heaters
- Prevents condensation when RCP is stopped.
- 3 knife switches located in CV.
- On-off switch in Rod Control Room (Powered from MCC-8)
RCP flywheel
- Adds inertia to increase RCP coastdown time
- Reduces consequences of a LOCA (DNB concerns)
- Also houses an anti-reverse rotation device. (no check valves in the system)
RCP seals
gpm per seal to where?
- 8gpm from Charging pumps
- 5gpm down past Thermal barrier into the RCS
- 3gpm up to 1st seal (15psig back pressure from VCT)
- 3gph past 2nd seal (stand pipe with 7ft of water)
- 100cchr past 3rd seal to containment sump
Shutdown seal
- Between number 1 seal and number 2 seal
- Upon loss of cooling, the shutdown seal will actuate preventing a loss of coolant accident
CVCS seal injection
how many Gpm normally?
min?
Max?
- Normal seal injection flow per pump should be 8-13gpm
- Min, 6gpm (tech spec)
- Max, 20gpm
RCS temps
- Hot leg 604F
- Cold leg 547F
- Tave is 575F
RCP seal flow back to VCT
gpm?
- 3gpm back to VCT per pump.
- 9gpm all together
