What is required for a SIT to be operable?
- Level < 66% and > 14%
- Boron < 2500 ppm and > 1720 ppm
- Pressure > 200 psig
- Drain and fill and vent valves closed
What is required for the SIRWT to be operable?
- Boron < 2500 ppm and > 1720 ppm
- > 250,000 gallons of water (85%) in Modes 1-3, 200,000 gallons of water (67%) in Mode 4. Admin limit is 275,970 gallons (92%)
- Temperature < 100 F and > 40 F
What is the required to meet the design basis of the Safety Injection System?
- 3 SITs
- 1 HPSI pump
- 1 LPSI pump
- 1 EDG
- 25% of SI flow assumed to be going out the PCS break
What is the purpose of CV-3027 and CV-3056, SIRWT Recirc Valves?
Provide a flow path to recirculate HPSI/LPSI pumps back to the SIRWT to prevent dead heading the pumps
What is the required position of CV-3027 and CV-3056, SIRWT Recirc Valves, on RAS.
Required position is closed to prevent highly radioactive water from the sump from going to the SIRWT, and to prevent a loss of inventory to the SIRWT.
How can CV-3027 and CV-3056, SIRWT Recirc Valves, be closed?
Each valve has 2 switches, 1 handswitch and 1 keyswitch. To close these valves, both switches need to be taken to the close position. Valves will also close automatically on RAS if the handswitch is taken to close prior to receiving the RAS signal (this “arms” the valves for RAS).
What is the motive force for operating CV-3027 and CV-3056, SIRWT Recirc Valves?
- HP air (normal)
- Nitrogen (backup) good for 24 hours
How do CV-3027 and CV-3056, SIRWT Recirc Valves, fail on a loss of air?
As is
