19
Q

What do cross connected steam plants mean?

A

-1 Reactor provides steam to both plants

20
Q

What are split steam plants?

A

Both reactors are powering respective steam plants independently

21
Q

Describe SCRAM

A

-Rapid Emergency Shutdown of reactors

22
Q

How does Restricted Maneuvering affect Reactor?
