Q

What is the purpose of the Spray Pond System?

A

Removes heat from Essential Cooling Water during normal or emergency shutdown of the plant

Removes heat from the DG when a DG is running

Rejects heat to atmosphere

25
Q

What system provides power to the Spray Pond pumps?

A

PBA-S03 for ‘A’

PBB-S04 for ‘B’

26
Q

Who is responsible for maintaining SP level?

A

AO

27
Q

When would the Spray Pond pumps automatically start?

A

DGSS, SIAS, CSAS, Control Room Ventilation Isolation Actuation Signal (CRVIAS), Control room Essential Filtration Actuation Signal (CREFAS), AFAS, and LOP, load shed

28
Q

What is the purpose of the Spray Pond Filter Pump?

A

To maintain Essential Spray Pond water within chemistry specifications

29
Q

What is the minimum Spray Pond level for SP pump operation?

A

1’ 6”

30
Q

Concerning our two makeup sources for the spray pond, DS and TB, how do they differ in calcium concentration and biological activity?

A

DS has more calcium but less biological activity

TB has less calcium, but more biological activity

31
Q

How does sodium hypochlorite enter the SPs?

A

through 5 injection points

two manual valves and three auto vales

32
Q

What are the flow rates of the three automatic air operated Hypo injection valves? The two manual valves?

A

5, .5, and .25 gpm

.5 and 10 GPM

33
Q

At what level does the Spray Pond overflow into the sump?

A

14’ 5”

34
Q

What systems can provide makeup water to the spray ponds?

A

DS, TB, or Fire Protection as a backup

35
Q

What is the window around the trigger time for the HMI to inject chemicals into the SPs?

A

three hours (two hours before and one after)

36
Q

What is the tech spec relating to the essential spray pond system?

A

Two trains of the ESP system must be OPERABLE

37
Q

How are Total Dissolved Solids removed from SP?

A

feed and bleed

38
Q

What system powers the Spray Pond Filter pumps?

A

NH

39
Q

in each spray pond pump house

47
Q

How can we back-fill spray pond piping?

A

Utilize a bypass header that allows 100% of the SP system flow to enter the spray ponds without passing through the spray nozzles

48
Q

How are backwashes performed on the Spray Pond Filters?

A

Manually – Backwash valve opens and water from the upper area flows, by gravity and eduction, backward through the sand, removing accumulated debris out through the backwash valve to the backwash sump

Q

What prevents undesired chemical interactions in the SPs?

A

HMI software interlocks

50
Q

If silica rates are high in the Spray Ponds, what can I perform for chemistry control?

A

Feed and Bleed – a line from the discharge of the Spray Pond Filter Pump sends water from the Spray Pond to the CW intake canal at a flow rate directed by Chemistry

51
Q

How many feet of usable volume must be In the Spray Pond per tech spec?

A

12’

52
Q

What is the controller for the chemical addition system?

A

Human Machine Interface

53
Q

If the SP backwash sump pumps are in hard start, will they shut off on a low level?

A

no

54
Q

What alarms are associated with the chemical addition system?

A

Yellow alarm indicates an
HMI alarm

High and low level on tanks

Any non-normal condition from the PLC (Program Logic controller)

55
Q

What provides power to the SP Backwash Sump Pump? Capacity?

A

NH

1000 gpm

56
Q

What is the tech spec related to the Ultimate heat sink?

A

UHS must be OPERABLE
