Reactor Flashcards
Coolant Turban Generators
CTG
Used for powering reactor coolent pumps Ratings: • 4160V • 8 MegaWatts • variable frequency • 3 phase • 1833 amps
Deaerating Feed Tank
DFT
- Deaerates the feed water
- Provides net positive suction head to main feed
- Acts as a surge volume. (Tanks)
Ships Service Turban Generator
SSTG
Used for powering the ships electrical distribution system at sea. Ratings: • 4160V • 60 Hz • 1388 Amps • 8 MegaWatts • 3 Phase
Main Engine Reduction Gear
- Folded
- Locked Train
- Double Helical
- Double Reduction
- Articulated
Purpose of Reboilers
• Prevent potentially radioactive steam from spreading to the rest of the ship.
• Prevent contaminated steam from getting into the main steam system.
1-1A shaft alley. 2-4B shaft alley
Emergency Diesel Generators
1 & 2 located by MSC, 3M Office, rep2
3 & 4 located under reactor male berthing
Primary purpose to provide power to reactor fill pumps
Secondary purpose to provide emergency ship power
4160V / 60 Htz / 347 Amps / 2 MegaWatts
Distilling Units
DU
Produce potable water for ships and reserve for reactor system.
100,000 gal per unit
400,000 gal all together
Electric Plant
At sea the SSTGs supply power.
Inport high voltage shore power lines supply power
Critical
Self sustaining nuclear fission process in other word the reactor is at steady power
Dead In Water
Loss of both reactors
Cross connected steam plants
One reactor supplies to both steam plants
ORSE
Operational Reactor Safeguard Exam
Fission Process
Neutrons mashes into uranium
Splits into gammas or fission fragments
Then heats to cause more fissions
Restricted Maneuvering Doctrine
- Unrep
- GQ
- Man Overboard
- Restricted Waters
- Coming in and out of port
- COs Discretion
Steam Process
Reactor heats primary coolent Primary coolant heats secondary water Secondary water turns to steam Steam performs work on major steam loads Steam is condensed into water Water is fed to DFT Water is fed through main feed pumps Main feed pumps feed back to STGs
