Q

When is RVLIS for Narrow Range Used?

A
  • No RCPs running **
  • Top to bottom of vessel
    100% = Full
    70% = Top of Hot Leg (N/C)
    67% = Top of Fuel
    46% = 3.5ft above bottom of fuel

Q

When is RVLIS for Wide Range Used?

A
  • With RCPs running **
  • Looks for Void Fraction (50%)
    46% w/4 RCPs
    32% w/3 RCPs
    22% w/2 RCPs
    15% w/1 RCPs
  • If WR shows a higher number than table, void fraction is less than 50% and core would remain covered if RCP(s) were stopped
17
Q

When is RVLIS for the Upper Range Used?

A
  • All RCPs Off **
  • top of Loop 1 HL and top of Rx vessel
    100% = Full **
    70% = Top of Hot Leg **
  • Generally used in EOPs to assess whether a RV head void exists for natural circulation cooldown procedures.
  • Fails when RCPs are running
18
Q

Where does DMIMS look for loose parts?

A
  • Both sides SG tube sheet (8)
  • Reactor Vessel Head (2)
  • Bottom of Core (2)
19
Q

Where does the subcooling monitor meter get it readings from to do the calc?

A
  • Auctioneered HI CETCs or WR RTD temps
  • Auctioneered LO RVLIS press
  • RVLIS press is used (located outside containment) *****
20
Q

What’s the purpose of RVLIS?

A
  • Verify adequate core cooling exists during accident
  • Inputs to subcooling monitor
  • Determines when Accumulators should be isolated to prevent nitrogen injection to RCS.
  • Can be used for Reactor Vessel Heat fill and vent.
21
Q

Which RVLIS correlation do you use when filling and venting RCS?

A
  • Use UPPER Plenum RVLIS with RCPs off when filling and venting RCS with RCP bump method
22
Q

What are the RCS leak detections in containment?

A
  • Required to detect a 1 gpm leak within 4 hours ***
  • Containment Sump Pumps
  • Particulate Rad Monitor (Unit 1) – most sensitive for small leaks
  • Humidity or Gaseous Rad Monitor

Q

The Unit 2 Reactor Operator has just discovered that while performing 02-OHP-4030-203-052L, Controlled Leakage Verification Test the seal line resistance was determined to be 2.13E-1 ft/gpm2.

Which ONE of the following describes the impact this seal line resistance would have on the RCS should a small break LOCA occur? (based on accident analysis assumptions)

A. Auxiliary Spray flow may be less than required for RCS depressurization.

B. Seal Injection flow may be insufficient to the cool the seals in the event of a Thermal barrier rupture.
