A

Prevents challenging porv/safeties

37
Q

RPS Trip scheme basis:

38
Q

A

NI 5,6,7, and 8
5 = A
6 = B
7 = C
8 =D

39
Q

Main turbine system signals
EHC oil press at what pressure does it open and what pressure does it reset?

A

400 psi and 500 psi

40
Q

Where does RPS power come from?

A

Channel A-D powered by vital bus A-D, respectively

41
Q

RPS
Manual bypass
What type of switch?

A

Key switch

42
Q

RPS
Manual bypass
If in bypass, the trip relay stays what?

A

Trip relay energized

43
Q

RPS
Manual bypass
If in manual bypass, how many out of how many logic are we in?

A

2 out of 3

44
Q

RPS
Manual bypass
Used for what?

A

Mostly maintenance

45
Q

RPS
Manual Bypass tech spec
The key oiperated channel bypass switch associated with each reactor protection cahannel may be used to lock the reactor trip module in the untripped state as indicated by a light.

A

Only one channel shall be locked in this untripped state at one time. United operation at rated power shall be permitted to continue with table 3.5-1, column A. only one channel bypass key shall be kept in the CR.

46
Q

If we took a second key to manual bypass what happens?

A

Nothing, we can’t energize the trip relay

47
Q

RPS
Loss of vital bus: failure of a vital bus or channel power supply -> what AND what trip because the UV coil loses power and shunt trip receives DC?

A

Channel and CRD breaker(s) trip

48
Q

EOP-001 entry
Any unplanned condition requiring an auto or manual reactor trip requires entry into EOp-001 to manually trip the reactor. IAAT statement?

A

IAAT conditions exist beyond RPS setpoints and a reactor trip has not occurred, trip the reactor and enter EOP-001

49
Q

Manual bypass, channel bypass mode for testing -> 2 out of 3 logic. Normally used for which testing?

A

I & C testing

50
Q

Only how many channels can be taken to which position at a time?

A

Only 1 channel to manually bypass at a time

51
Q

IF one channel is in manual bypass and 2 other channels get valid trip signals, which cabinets and CRD bkrs will do what?

A

All 4 cabinets and CRD bkrs trip

52
Q

Rx trip module (RTM) removal: trips channel (even in bypass) trips associated CRD bkr, And…

A

Forces ALL other channels OUT of bypass condition

53
Q

RPS
Shutdown Bypass
Break before make connection, meaning the channel will trip when placed in shutdown bypass UNLESS…..

A

It’s already in manual bypass

54
Q

RPS
Shutdown Bypass
Auto inserts high RCS pressure trip at what pressure?

1720# into the RPS trip logic

55
Q

RPS
Anticipatory trip
Set points (2 of them)

A

FWPs >7%
Turbine trip >45%

56
Q

RPS
Anticipatory Trip
Basis

A

Basis is that this event will cause a reactor trip on high pressure, so this feature proactively trips the reactor to prevent challenging the porv/code safeties

57
Q

SSO reactor trip module
Sub-system light goes BRIGHT on what?
Will NOT go BRIGHT on what?

A

Goes Bright on any trip string logic tripped
Will NOT go BRIGHT on manual bypass

58
Q

SSO reactor trip module
BRIGHT RED means what?

A

Circuit breaker OPEN (52 contact OPEN).

59
Q

SSO Reactor trip module
Status of 4 channels. Lamp Bright means what?

A

Relay de-energized, channel tripped

60
Q

SSO reactor trip module
Manual bypass lamp lit means what?

A

Means its in manual bypass

61
Q

RPS
Conditions causing channel trip relay to de-energize: (3 of them)

A

RPS trip setpoint exceeded
RPS module in TEST without being in manual bypass
Removal of an RPS critical module relay

62
Q

RPS
Conditions which Trip CRD breaker: (3 of them, sort of…)

A

Loss of associated vital bus: channel AND bkr trips b/c UV coil loses power
2 out of 4 logic conditions met:
-2 RPS channels tripped opens all 4 CRD bkrs
-2 “simulate trip” switches taken to TRIP in single cabinet opens that CRD bkr
3.) Removal of RX TRIP module (power to UV coil goes through this)

63
Q

RCP power monitoring system
Purpose
Monitors rcp power consumption statis in lieu of 52 bkr contacts for a theoretical sheared shaft. RPS sees a loss of RCP at what MW (nominal is what MW)

A

RPS sees a loss of RCP at <2.1 Mwe (nomial is 6 Mwe)

64
Q

Buffer amplifiers: RPS cabinets have buffer amplifiers which do NOT allow non-safety grade instrumentation to affect safety grade instrumentation due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) non-safety grade instruments get fed through this buffer amplifier before going into RPS cabinet so safety grade instrumentation is NOT affected
