Q

What is the basis for the APRM hi flux scram?

A

RUN - protects against overpressure transient and is assumed to terminate the CRDA and MSIV closure transient-Also limits potential consequences of transients in Mode 1 that could result in exceeding safety limitsStartup - limits power to less than 23%, secondary protection to IRM trip

22
Q

What is the logic for APRM/OPRM scrams?

A

Voters - a trip signal from at least 2 APRMs/OPRMs(INOP APRM = 1 vote)

23
Q

When is the RPV pressure trip bypassed?

A

Never

24
Q

When is the Turbine Trip scram bypassed?

A

Less than 26%CTP (117psig 1st stage turbine pressure) or with keylock switch

25
Q

When is the TCV scram bypassed?

A

Less than 26%CTP (117psig 1st stage turbine pressure) or with keylock switch

26
Q

When is the SDV level scram bypassed?

A

Mode switch in REFUEL or SHUTDOWN-manual switch

27
Q

When is the MSIV scram bypassed?

A

Mode switch NOT in RUN

28
Q

When is the high drywell pressure scram bypassed?

A

Never

29
Q

When is the RPV level scram bypassed?

A

30
Q

What is the minimum amount of time that must pass before a scram can be reset?

37
Q

What is the alternate alternate power supply for RPS A?

A

E6(8) via EPA breakers 5 & 6

38
Q

What is the alternate alternate power supply for RPS B?

A

E6(8) via EPA breakers 5 & 6

39
Q

SSPV chatter can be indicative of what in relation to RPS power supplies?

A

Low voltage

40
Q

What document requires Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI)?

A

10CFR50.62

41
Q

What causes the blue scram light to illuminate on the full core display?

A

Both the 126 and 127 scram valves not full closed

42
Q

How could approximately 1/4 of the control rods scram at a time?

A

Pull fuse to SSPV group

43
Q

Are SDV vents and drains normally open or closed?

A

Normally open (de-energize to close)

44
Q

What is the effect of a half scram on the SDV vents and drains?

A

Remain energized (remain open)

45
Q

How many backup scram valves are there and where are they located?

A

2Located on scram air header

46
Q

How many ARI valves are there and where are they located?

A

8 (4 pairs )1 each on North and South HCU banks1 on scram air header supply1 on SDV vents and drains air supply

47
Q

What are the initiation signals for ARI and what is the logic?

A

LL2 (105”) or RPV Pressure 1137.8psig

Must receive two of the same signal

(from RCR logic)

48
Q

What powers ARI valves?

A

11A(12A)Div 1 only!

**Both Div 1 and Div 2 pressure and level signals are required for an auto initiation of ARI. If Div 2 AC is lost, ARI will NOT auto initiate but can be manually initiated**

49
Q
