Q

Power Cabinet Non-Urgent alarm does what?

A

Loss of Power supply causes an urgent alarm if INWARD rod motion is demanded. (causes a logic error)
If OUTWARD rod motion is demanded will ratchet or drop

We place rods in manual and do not attempt any motion until repairs comp

Q

A Logic Cabinet Urgent alarm does what?

A
  • Inhibits all rod motion
  • Energizes red light at logic cabinet
  • RTGB alarm
17
Q

A Logic Cabinet Urgent alarm is caused by?

SLO

A
  • Secondary Cycler
  • Loose or missing card
  • Osciallator
18
Q

Power Cabinet and Logic Cabinet non urgent alarms are caused by?

A

Power supply failure

19
Q

Overlap works how?

A
  1. Control Bank A out 128
  2. Control Bank A/B out 100
  3. A stops at 228 steps total
  4. B goes 28 steps (now its at 128 steps)
  5. B/C go out 100
  6. B Stops when its at 228 steps out
  7. C goes 28 more steps (128 steps)
  8. C/D goe 100 steps
  9. C Stops at 228 steps
  10. D goes 118 more steps (Stays at 218 steps out)

Total of 602 steps

20
Q

Rod Control Logic compares what?

A

Median Tavg to Tref

21
Q

How much difference does Tavg have to be above Tref before Rod movement? when does movement stop?

A

1.5 degrees F. starts Rod insertion, once Tavg and Tref are within 1 degree of each other Rod movement stops

22
Q

Rod Insertion Limits setpoint comes from?

A

Linear function of Median Delta T

23
Q

Rod Insertion Limits do what?

A
  • Ensure adequate SDM
  • LImit the worth of ejected rod
  • Ensure Proper Axial Flux
24
Q

Start up Push Button does what?

A

Resets
Primary Cycler counter
Secondary Cycler counter
P-A converter
Internal memory and alarm circuits
Group step counters on RTGB
Bank overlap counter

25
Q

S/D Banks A & B move how fast?

Individual banks selected only

A

68 steps a minute

26
Q

Control Banks move how fast?

Individual banks selected or in manual

A

45 steps a minute

27
Q

When in auto how fast do Rods move?

A
  • 8-72 steps a minute
  • 8 steps from 1-3 degrees difference
  • ramps up to 72 steps from 3-5 degree difference
28
Q

DC hold cabinet supplies what? and holds how many rods?

A

125/70 VDC
125 for latching
70 fo holding
5 Rods can be held at one time

29
Q

Define SDM

A

The instantaneous amount of reactivity by which the Rx is subcritical or would be subcritical from its present condition assuming all full-length rod cluster assemblies (shutdown and control) are fully inserted except for the single rod cluster assembly of highest reactivity worth that is assumed to be fully withdrawn.
