Residual Heat Removal Flashcards

1
Q

What are the Safety Related functions of RHR?

A
  • Transfer heat from the RCS to the CCW system via the RHR HX’s. (Forced cooldown)
  • Used as a part of ECCS.
  • Used as a part of CTS.
  • Provides RCS LTOP during shutdown conditions. (450# relief)

18
Q

What prevents dead heading an RHR pump (weak pump) during the injection phase following a LOCA?

A

Check valves between the tee for the RHR pump recirc valve and the tee for RHR spray and IRV-310/320.

19
Q

What level is Reduced Inventory?

A

618’ 1.5”

20
Q

What level is Mid Loop?

A

614’

21
Q

What does Hot Leg Recirc do for the RCS?

A

Prevents boron precipitation is the RX Vessel.

22
Q

When can RHR be placed in service following a RX Shutdown?

A
  • RCS# less than or equal to 400#
  • RCS Temp < 350F
23
Q

What are the time restrictions for transferring to Hot Leg Recirc and why?

A
  • Minimum: 5.5 Hours, to avoid core uncovery due to high decay heat.
  • Maximum: 7.5 Hours, to prevent boron precipitation in the RX vessel head.
24
Q

Why must RHR Loop Injection Valves be closed prior to aligning RHR Spray?

A

Prevent RHR pump run-out.

25
Q

How many RHR pumps can be ran at Reduced Inventory and why?

A
  • One
  • Prevents air entrapment due to vortexing at the suction.
26
Q

Upon SI, what does the CCW outlet of the RHR HX throttle to? (CMO-419/429)

A

3000-3500 gpm

27
Q

What is the purpose of Hot Sleeve Fans?

A

Cools concrete around containment penetrations to prevent dryout.

28
Q

What is the LCO requirement for RCS Loops in MODE 4? (LCO 3.4.6)

A

Two loops consisting of any combination of RCS loops and RHR loops shall be OPERABLE, and one loop shall be in operation.

29
Q

What 1 hour or less actions are required if one required tech spec loop is INOPERABLE while in MODE 4?

A
  • Initiate action to restore a second loop IMMEDIATELY.
30
Q

What 1 hour or less actions are required if two required tech spec loops are inoperable OR the required loop is not in operation?

A
  • Suspend ops that would cause introduction of coolant < required boron concentration IMMEDIATELY
    AND
  • Initiate action to restore one loop to OPERABLE status and operation IMMEDIATELY
31
Q

What is the LCO requirement for RCS Loops in MODE 5, Loops Filled? (LCO 3.4.7)

A

One RHR loop shall be OPERABLE and in operation, and either:
- One additional RHR loop shall be operable
OR
- SGWL of 2 S/G’s shall be above the lower tap of the wide range instrumentation by greater than or equal to 420 inches.

32
Q

What is the LCO requirement for RCS Loops in MODE 5, Loops NOT Filled? (LCO 3.4.8)

A

Two RHR loops shall be OPERABLE and one RHR loop shall be in service.
