45
Q

What happens if the Emergency Off/Reset Switch is taken to Emergency Off?

A

SBCS will not open any valves.

46
Q

How can you reset a condenser interlock?

A

Taking the Emergency Off/Reset Switch to Reset. Also, depressing the Emergency Off Condenser Interlock Reset button on the SBCS Test Panel would work.

47
Q

When the Emergency Off/Reset Switch for SBCS is taken to Emergency Off, what physically is happening to the SBCS valves?

A

The air is vented off the bottom of the valve actuator and IA is ported to the top of the valve actuator. The valve is held closed by spring pressure and IA.

48

A

5.5” HgA with a 2/3 logic across the shells.

49
Q

How many pressure switches does each condenser shell have?

2
1 for Interlock #1 for Modulation and QO
1 for Interlock #2 Permissive

50
Q

Which valves are effected by the Condenser Interlocks in SBCS?

A

1001-1006

51
Q

When is an AMI sent to CEDMCS from SBCS?

A
  1. When Reactor Power from RRS is < 15%
  2. When TLI from RRS < 15%(permissive for AMI) + Reactor Power < the lesser of either the AMI Threshold or SBCS Availability.
52
Q

What happens to SBCS on a loss of IA?

A

All valves fail closed at ~80 psig

53
Q

What happens to SBCS on a loss of NKN-D42?

A

NKN-D42 powers the P and Q solenoids. These fail closed.

54
Q

What happens to SBCS on a loss of NNN-D11?

A

All SBCS valves fail closed because SBCS loses logic power. If power comes back in < 2 seconds SBCS comes back in Manual with 0 output. If > 2 seconds SBCS comes back in Emergency Off

55
Q

What happens to SBCS on a loss of NNN-D12?

A

All SBCS valves fail closedbecause SBCS loses logic power. If power comes back in < 2 seconds SBCS comes back in Manual with 0 output. If > 2 seconds SBCS comes back in Emergency Off

56
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if SGN-PT-1024 fails HIGH?

A
  • SBCS will generate a 100% Modulate Signal

- If a Runback were to occur, it would stop at 60%

57
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if SGN-PT-1024 fails LOW?

A
  • SBCS will not generate a Modulate Signal

- If a Runback were to occur, it would not stop.

58
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if SGN-PT-1027 fails HIGH?

A

This would generate a permanent Permissive Signal to SBCS

59
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if SGN-PT-1027 fails LOW?

A

This would prevent SBCS from generating a Permissive Signal = no SBCS

60
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if Tave fails LOW?

A
  • This would prevent any valves from Quick Opening after a Reactor Trip
  • If a Runback were to occur, it would not stop.
61
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if Tave fails HIGH?

A
  • This would prevent a Quick Open Block from being generated for the X valves on a Reactor Trip allowing them to open.
  • If a Runback were to occur, it would stop at 60%
62
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if Reactor Power fails HIGH?

A
  • Reactor power will never drop < 15% therefore no low power AMI
  • Reactor power will never reach the AMI Threshold should TLI drop <15%.
63
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if Reactor Power fails LOW?

A
  • Reactor power will drop below <15% therefore Low Power AMI generated
  • Reactor power will always read < AMI Threshold. If TLI drops < 15%, an AMI will be generated.
64
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if PT-100X for Pressurizer Pressure fails HIGH?

A
  • Results in the Modulate setpoint being biased downward its maximum value of 50 psia which places the Modulate setpoint below the Permissive setpoint. This results in slamming open and closed SBCS Valves if actual steam header pressure reaches the now higher Permissive setpoint.
  • Results in the X1 and Y1 QO bistables and RPCB 1 bistable being actuated.
  • Prevents the “rate” of Pressurizer pressure change from inputting into the QO circuitry (rate=0) which could delay actual QO on a real Load Rejection.
65
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if PT-100X for Pressurizer Pressure fails LOW?

A
  • Results in the Modulate setpoint not being biased.
  • Prevents the X1 and Y1 QO bistables and RPCB 1 bistable from being actuated.
  • Prevents the “rate” of Pressurizer pressure change from inputting into the QO circuitry (rate=0) which could delay actual QO on a real Load Rejection.
66
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if PT-100Y for Pressurizer Pressure fails HIGH?

A

Results in the Permissive setpoint being biased down its maximum value of 50 psia which would place the Permissive setpoint further below the Modulate setpoint. This results in SBCS Valves receiving a permissive earlier than they normally would.

67
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if PT-100Y for Pressurizer Pressure fails LOW?

A
  • Results in the Permissive setpoint not being biased.
  • Prevents the X2 and Y2 QO bistables and RPCB 2 bistable from being actuated.
  • Prevents the “rate” of Pressurizer pressure change from inputting into the QO circuitry (rate=0) which could delay actual QO on a real Load Rejection.
68
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if SGN-FT-1021 or SGN-FT-1022 fail HIGH?

A
  • SBCS will see max steam flow. Therefore it will decrease the Modulate setpoint.
69
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if SGN-FT-1021 or SGN-FT-1022 fail LOW?

A
  • SBCS will see minimum steam flow. Therefore it will increase the Modulate setpoint to 1170 psia.
70
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if RRS TLI (HP First Stage Pressure) fails HIGH?

A
  • If a Runback were to occur, it would not stop.
  • SBCS will misread secondary plant load capability as higher than actual. This effect is minimal as the AMI Threshold takes the lower input.
  • Prevents the X2 and Y2 QO bistables and RPCB 2 bistable from being actuated as SBCS thinks the Main Turbine is at 100%.
  • Will prevent SBCS from seeing an actual LLR because it sees the Main Turbine constantly at a higher power than it is.
71
Q

What is the effect to SBCS (Runback, AMI, bistables) if RRS TLI (HP First Stage Pressure) fails LOW?

A
  • If a Runback were to occur, it would stop at 60%.
  • SBCS will provide a false low input to the AMI circuitry possibly resulting in a lower AMI Threshold.
  • Will actuate the X2 and Y2 QO bistables and RPCB 2 bistable as SBCS thinks the Main Turbine in at 0%
  • Will prevent SBCS from seeing an actual LLR because it sees the Main Turbine at a lower power than it is.
72
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if SGN-FT-1011 or SGN-FT-1012 fail HIGH?

A
  • Will prevent the X1 and Y1 QO bistables and RPCB 1 bistable from being actuated as SBCS sees max steam flow.
  • Will prevent SBCS from seeing an actual LLR because it sees the Main Turbine at a higher power than it is.
  • SBCS will lower the Auto Modulation Setpoint because it sees higher steam flow
73
Q

What is the effect to SBCS if SGN-FT-1011 or SGN-FT-1012 fail LOW?

A
  • Will actuate the X1 and Y1 QO bistables and RPCB 1 bistable as SBCS thinks the Main Turbine operating at a lower power than it is.
  • Will prevent SBCS from seeing an actual LLR because it sees the Main Turbine at a lower power than it is.
  • SBCS will raise the Auto Modulation Setpoint because it sees lower steam flow
74
