Q

During RCS drain down, what are allowed RCS flow rates?

A

> 107’ = 3780 - 5000 GPM
102’ - 103’1” = 3780 - 4600 GPM

Locally at QSPDS cabinet or;

Core Map screen of QSPDS in Control Room

19
Q

What are the SDC Flow alarms for 1 pump and 2 pump operation?

A

1 pump = 3615 GPM

2 pump = 7400 GPM

20
Q

Who allows continued drain down operations if Maximum allowable level deviations are exceeded?

A

Ops Department Leader

21
Q

How many trains of RWLIS shall be calibrated and In-Service anytime RCS is in Partial Drain condition?

A

1

22
Q

What are the power sources for the RWLIS instruments?

A

NNN-D11/D12, with flow compensation power from PNA-D25 and PNB-D26

23
Q

During a Level Change, what type of monitoring is performed and periodicity of recording level is?

A

Continous Local Monitoring

Level every 15 minutes

24
Q

If RCS Level can’t be displayed in the CR by any means, what is done for level?

A

Monitored Locally and Recorded at least once every 15 minutes

25
Q

What are the 3 flow paths for draining the RCS for Mid-Loop?

A

Normal CVCS to RWT
Normal CVCS to HUT
Alternate SI 6” bypass line

NOTE: Can’t simultaneously use more than 1 path

26
Q

At what elevation would the SG U-tubes begin to drain?

A

< 103’1” WR

27
Q

What is the Max Drain Rate with fuel in the RX?

A

Using Head Vent = 40 GPM

Using Greylock Hubs = 135 GPM

28
Q

What are the makeup flow paths required during reduced inventory (3)?

A

Must have 2 independent paths
Gravity MU path at all times
Gravity and HPSI MU must be on opposite trains

29
Q

What is “Surge Line Flooding”?

A

Boiling occurs. Steam velocity in 12” surge line, doesn’t allow water to drain back from PZR into RCS.

30
Q

What are the SM duties during Reduced Inventory per 40OP-9ZZ30?

A

Authorize CTMT Hatch open >111’
Gets UDL approval to Open <111’
Authorize CTMT penetration open
Determine Closed CTMT conditions
Direct MLOC to implement CTMT closure
Ensure RE on Open CTMT log are notified of closure
Review Work Orders on RCS level perturbations
Notify U1 SM of entry/exit into Reduced Inventory
Notify Outage MGMT entry/exit into Red Inventory

31
Q

What is “Closed Containment”?

A

At least 1 integral barrier to release of Rad material

32
Q

Who maintains the status of penetrations via the CTMT penetration work log?

A

33
Q

Who determines the status of all penetrations and establishes the Open CTMT Penetration Log (OCPL)?

A

MLOC (Mid-Loop Ops Coordinator)
