Q

What is the design of the steam dumps? **

A

Q

What is the purpose of the steam dumps?

A
  • Reduce RCS transients following substantial turbine load reductions by dumping steam to the condensers.
  • Remove decay and sensible heat stored in the RCS following a reactor & turbine trip without actuating SG safety valves.
  • Control RCS temperature when the turbine is at low load, or during startup, cooldown, and when maintaining mode 3.

A
  • MPC-253 (First Stage Impulse #)
25
Q

  • 0°F to 10°F ΔT - Modulates open
  • 0%-33% Demand
  • If > 10°F ΔT -Trips Open
26
Q

When will group II open with the Turbine Trip Ctrlr?

A
  • 10°F to 20°F ΔT - Modulates Open
  • 33%-67% Demand
  • If > 20°F ΔT - Trips Open
27
Q

When will group I open with the Load Reject Ctrlr?

A
  • 5°F to 9°F ΔT - Modulates open
  • 0%-33% Demand
  • If > 9°F ΔT - Trips Open
28
Q

When will group II open with the Load Reject Ctrlr?

A
  • 9°F to 13°F ΔT - Modulates open
  • 33%-67% Demand
  • If > 13°F ΔT - Trips Open
29
Q

When will group III open with the Load Reject Ctrlr?

A
  • 13°F to 17°F ΔT - Modulates open
  • 67%-100% Demand
  • If > 17°F ΔT - Trips Open
30
Q

Why do none of the steams dumps open in the first 5°F ΔT on a load rejection?

A
  • Rods are good for a 10% load rejection
31
Q

What are the two modes of the steam pressure controller?

A
  • Auto (setpoint is 1005#)

- Manual

32
Q

Which mode only allows modulating of steam dumps?

A
  • Steam Pressure Mode

No trip functions

33
Q

How much turbine load are the steam dumps designed to handle on a load rejection?

A
  • 40% Load
34
Q

How do the Trip Open Solenoids fail?

A
  • Fail to Modulate
35
Q

What is the Power Supply for the trip open solenoids?

A
  • VDAB
36
Q

*** A Unit 2 reactor trip occurred from 90% power. The following plant conditions exist:

  • Reactor trip breakers: OPEN
  • Main turbine stop valve (C): OPEN
  • Condenser vacuum: 21.4 in. Hg.
  • RCS Tavg: 561°F
  • Auto Stop Oil Pressure: 400 psig

Assuming all other equipment operated as designed and no operator actions are taken, the Steam Dump system is:

A. armed and dumping steam to the condenser with group 1 trip open solenoid bistables energized.

B. armed and dumping steam to the condenser with groups 1 and 2 trip open solenoid bistables energized.

C. armed but not dumping steam to the condenser because of a blocking signal.

D. not armed and not dumping steam to the condenser.

A

A. armed and dumping steam to the condenser with group 1 trip open solenoid bistables energized.

37
Q

If MPC-253 or MPC-254 Fail High in Tavg mode, what affect will it have on steam dumps?

A
  • Will have no affect
38
Q

If MPC-253 Fails low in Tavg mode, what affect will it have on steam dumps?

A
  • Will have no affect because it has no arming signal
39
Q

If MPC-254 Fails low in Tavg mode, what affect will it have on steam dumps?

A
  • Will have no affect because it has no demand signal
40
Q

If you take the ctrl selector switch to off/reset, what will it do?

A
  • If you previously bypassed your P12 signal, it will re-enable P12
41
Q

What are the trip open signals for Turbine Trip bistables for steam dumps? ***

A
  • 10°F Group I
  • 20°F Group II
    (Direct 20# air to the trip/open valves)
42
Q

What are the trip open signals for Load Rejection bistables for steam dumps?

A
  • 9°F Group I
  • 13°F Group II
  • 17°F Group III
    (Direct 20# air to the trip/open valves)
43
Q

If CRID 1, 2 and 4 are lost, can steam dumps still operate?

A

No, steam dumps remain closed

44
Q

Whats the fastest cooldown rate allowed with steam dumps?

A
  • 100°F per hour
45
Q

If UPC-101 fails high while in steam pressure mode, what will happen to steam dumps?

A
  • Groups I and II will go full open until P12 is met
46
Q

If UPC-101 fails low while in steam pressure mode, what will happen to steam dumps?

A
  • Any open steam dump valves will close
47
Q

If Tavg fails high > 20°F ΔT with no turbine trip, what will happen to steam dumps?

A
  • Nothing will happen, because the C7A and C7B arming signals are not in
48
Q

If Tavg fails high > 20°F ΔT with a turbine trip, what will happen to steam dumps?

A
  • Groups I and II will go full open and stay full open until P12 is met and then it will cycle at 541°F
49
Q

During the final stages of an RCS heatup, the Steam Dump System is set to automatically control RCS temperature at 541°F.

Which ONE of the following is the correct Steam Dump Pressure Controller setpoint required to
maintain RCS temperature at approximately 541°F Tavg?

A. 940 psig
B. 955 psig
C. 970 psig
D. 985 psig

A

B. 955#
