Question 9

What is a secondary function of the SFP system?

Answer 9

• clarify and purify the water in the SFP, transfer canal, and purify the RWST

Question 10

Where do SFP discharge lines terminate and what do they do to prevent siphoning?

Answer 10

• The pump discharge lines terminate no lower than 6’ above the top of the fuel assemblies and have anti-siphon holes located about 4” below normal level.

Question 11

What happens to SFP Cooling on a Phase ‘A’?

Answer 11

• CCW to the SFP HX Isolates

Question 12

If U1 is providing cooling to the SFP Hx and has an SI, what happens?

Answer 12

• U2 will take cooling through the South Pump.

The crew is required to …

Answer 14

• suspend core alterations and positive reactivity changes, and initiate boration.

Question 15

When the fuel transfer canal water is being pumped into the spent fuel pit, how must the flow rate be maintained?

Answer 15

• the flow rate of the water pumped to the CVCS HUT’s must be adjusted to maintain proper level in the spent fuel pit

Question 16

What provides inflation air to the SFP Weir Gate?

Answer 16

• Plant Air system

Question 17

Will x-ting between N SFP and S SFP cooling prevent boiling?

Answer 17

• You can x-tie through purification piping but it does not prevent boiling, just will delay it
