Shield Cooling Flashcards
Is the shield cooling system safety related and what is its purpose?
Not safety related.
Closed loop cooling system
Removes heat from the biological shield surrounding the reactor vessel thereby limiting stresses in the structural concrete.
What is the design function of the shield cooling system?
Maintains structural concrete temperature less than 165°F
Maximum normal heat load on the system at full power is 120,000 BTU/hr.
- Each coil set is capable of removing 180,000 BTU/hr
- Heat Exchanger is capable of removing 200,000 BTU/hr
- Each pump is capable of handling 100% of the required cooling water flow for removing 180,000 BTU/hr.

Shield Wall Cooling Coils
Shield Wall Cooling Coils
Two sets of coils with 3 coil sections in each set
Design Pressure – 75 psig
Design Temperature – 200°F
Normal flow rate is 38 to 43 gpm per coil section and 134 to 154 gpm per coil set (wall section + slab section = coil set).
CV-0932 & CV-0934, Coil Inlet Supply Valves
CV-0932 & CV-0934, Coil Inlet Supply Valves
Air operated, fail open diaphragm valves
C-08/03
- Two position OPEN-CLOSE key operated switch
- Red and Green position indicating lights
Interlocked with associated flow alarm so that when valve is closed, low flow alarm is bypassed
What does the shild wall coil relieve at?
Each wall coil has a relief valve for overpressure protection due to thermal expansion (100 psig)
What are the flow indications for wall coils?
FI-0928, FI-0929, FI-0931 for A Coil
FI-0934, FI-0935, FI-0936 for B Coil
What temperature indications are there in the control room?
TE-0931 (TE-0933) – provides control room indication
High temperature alarm at 120°F via TIA-0931 (TIA-0933)
What alarms on low flow?
FS-0932 (FS-2104) – provides control room alarm when in-service coil flow decreases to ≤ 80 gpm
Alarm bypassed when inlet supply valve CV-0932 (CV-0934) is closed.
What is the design of the Floor Slab Coils?
Two sets of coils with each having 1 section
Design Pressure – 75 psig
Design Temperature – 200°F
Normal flow rate through floor coil is 20 to 25 gpm
