What is a TLD
Thermo-Luminescent dosimeter
What does a TLD do
measures radiation exposure
When to wear TLD
When in the propulsion plants while operating or in Radiation area
Where is the reactor controlled from
Enclosed Operating Station (EOS)
Who contols the RX
reactor operator
Who is in charge of EOS and the propulsion plant
Propulsion plant watch officer
Who is the roving supervisory watchstander in charge of the propulsion plant
propulsion plant watch supervisor
Who is in charge of both propulsion plants and engineering spaces
engineering officer of the watch
Responsible for electric plant
load dispatcher
Who does EOOW report to
Officer Of the deck
What is reactor scram
rapid shut down of the reactor
Reactor critical means ..
Reactor is operating and producing power
Cross connected steam plants means…
steam is being supplied to both propulsion plants from 1 reactor
Dead in the water
a loss of both reactors, electric plant being carried by EDG
Restricted maneuvering doctrine
A state the ship operates in to provide maximum propulsion, electrical, and navigational reliability.
MTT
mobile training team
ORSE
operational reactor safeguards exam
purpose of MTT and ORSE
evaluate reactor department’s ability to safely operate the reactors.
SPM
steam plant manual
RPM
reactor plant manual
Type of fuel used by reactor
Enriched Uranium
A4W
aircraft carrier core, 4th design, Westinghouse
Reactor design
Pressurized water reactor
How does the reactor produce usable energy
Heat produced from fission is used to create steam in the secondary that powers turbines for electricity and propulsion
advantages of reactor power over fossil fuels
refueled every 25 years. Allows more fuel for aircrafts. No smoke stacks
RC
Reactor Controls
RE
Reactor Electrical
RL
Reactor Laboratory
RM
Reactor Mechanical
RA
Reactor Auxilaries
RP
Reactor Propulsopm
RXDC
Reactor Damage control
RT
Reactor Training
Classify the reduction gears
double reduction, double helical, articulated, locked train, folded
GV
Guard Valve
Trailed shaft
main engine guard valve is shut
ABT
automatic bus transfer
MBT
manual bus transfer
why do we use 4160v system
higher voltage, lower current, smaller equipment
EPCP
electric plant control panel
Voltage regulator unit
regulates voltage and provides voltage drop characteristics to share reactive loading
HVSP sponson location
FWD- Hanger bay 1 stbd side AFT- Hanger bay2 stbd side
How does nuclear fission produce energy
neutron absorbed by uranium split into neutrons, protons, and gammas
Air compressors onboard
9 Low pressure air plant (100-125)
4 High pressure air compressors (3500-4200)
Load off LP air
Pneumatic tools, propulsion plant valves
Load off HP air
EDG starting air, low pressure air backup
How to make potable water
distilling units (DU)
Classify Distilling units
6 stage, flash type, low pressure, 100,000 gpd
How many DUs
4
How much water is used for propulsion plant per day
200,000 gpd
how do we produce electrical power onboard

4160V, 8MW
How many SSTGs
4
SSTG backup
emergency diesel generators (EDG)
How many EDGs
4
EDG rating
4160V, 2MW
Primary purpose of EDG
supply power to the reactor fill pumps
How many main engines
4
what makes steam for hotel services
Steam reboilers
How many reboilers
2
Why use reboilers
Secondary steam loop to prevent contamination of the propulsion plant from sources
Loads off the reboiler
Laundry steam, Galley steam, Hot water heaters, Sea chest steamout connections, D/U air ejectors, Catapult cylinders
Describe a simplified primary loop
pump circulates water through RX to S/G to cool RX and heat water in S/G for steam
