Q

If we lose makeup capabilities to the spray pond during a loss of coolant accident. What must we do at the spray ponds?

A

Open the cross tie valves (HCV-207 and HCV-208) and shutdown one train of emergency core cooling.

Q

What are the three flow rates that we can put hypo in?

A

.25 gpm, .5 gpm, and 10 gpm

20
Q

When do we need to verify chemical injection to the spray pond by?

A

The verify operation should be checked 2 hours before and one hour after the scheduled trigger

21
Q

When we are using the 10 gpm hypo injection path; what can’t we do? Why?

A

We can’t run a Spray pond pump. Because the high concentration of hypo can cause increased corrosion in the DG equipment and EW HX.

22
Q

What chemical that we add can’t be added unless the spray pond pump is running?

A

CCI

23
Q

What are the requirements to add dispersant?

A

Either the spray pond pump or spray pond filter pump must be running

24
Q

What are the requirements to add sulfuric acid?

A

The spray pond filter pump must be running

25
Q

How many spray headers go into the spray pond?

A

four

26
Q

When will we get a hi discharge pressure alarm on a running SP pump?

A

58 psig

27
Q

When will we get a lo discharge pressure alarm on a running SP pump?

A

47 psig

28
Q

At what spray pond temperature will we get an alarm in the CR?

A

85 degrees F

29
Q

What color in the spray pond is better to see?

A

Light blue is the best and dark green is the worse

30
Q

What are the chemicals added to the spray ponds?

A
  • Hypochlorite
  • Biocide
  • Sulfuric Acid
  • Copper Corrosion inhibitor
  • Mild Steel corrosion inhibitor
  • Dispersant
31
Q

Where do the filter backwash sump pumps discharge to?

A

CW intake structure

32
Q

How long can the DG run loaded and unloaded without the spray pond available.

A

2.6 min loaded

15 min unloaded

33
Q

What happens to the spray pond system on a lose of IA?

A

CR loses ability to see level. Have to verify locally

34
Q

How many headers and risers are in the spray pond?

A

4 headers
20 risers each
320 nozzles

35
Q

How is it determined which makeup source that we use?

A

Chemistry through the CCI.

36
Q

Where can the Spray Pond pumps be started from?

A

CR or in the class switchgear room

37
Q

What automatically starts a spray pond pump?

A
  • SIAS
  • CSAS
  • AFAS 1/2
  • LOP
  • CRVIAS
  • CREFAS
38
Q

What are the spray pond corrosion test racks used for?

A

installed to monitor the corrosive effects of the spray pond water on piping and the HX’s

39
Q

Where do the spray pond chemical injection pumps discharge to?

A

A “quill” that creates turbulent flow to mix with the recirc flow and dispense to the spray ponds

40
Q

What do the Spray pond recirc pumps do?

A

circulate water through the injection quill and back to the spray ponds. Any pump can go to either pond

41
Q

What is the essential spray ponds systems mission time?

A

30 days.

42
Q

Why is dispersant added to the spray pond?

A

Scale and deposit control

43
Q

Why is cooper corrosion inhibitor added to the spray pond?

A

Prevent corrosion. Added only when SP pump is running.

44
Q

Why is Sulfuric acid add to the spray pond?

A

pH control

45
Q

Why is Hypo added to the spray pond?

A

Biological growth
