Shield Cooling Flashcards

1
Q

Is the shield cooling system safety related and what is its purpose?

A

Not safety related.

Closed loop cooling system

Removes heat from the biological shield surrounding the reactor vessel thereby limiting stresses in the structural concrete.

Q

What is the design function of the shield cooling system?

A

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.
