Q

What is the dominant control for SG Level?

A

Level Dominant (43.8%)
- Steam Generator Level overrides Feed flow/Steam Flow mismatch over time, level is a lag signal

19
Q

What causes a Steam Line Isolation (SLI)?

A
  • Cnt # High-High at 2.8# (2/4)
  • SG # low < 500# (1/1 on 2/4 SG)
  • High Stm flow with P-12 (1.42E6/1.6E6) (1/2) on 2 SG
20
Q

What is density compensation?

A

Converts volumetric flowrate of steam to mass flowrate for input into SGWLC circuit
(Left 2 Channels)

21
Q

Where do we measure SG Level?

A

SG Downcomer

22
Q

What is swell caused by?

A

An increase in steam flow
(which will cause an increased indication of SG lvl in the downcomer due to decreased SG pressure)

23
Q

What is shrink caused by?

A

A Reduction in steam flow
(which will cause an decreased indication of SG lvl in the downcomer due to a rise in SG pressure)

24
Q

In MODES 1 and 2, the reactor is critical and thus has the potential to produce maximum THERMAL POWER. Thus, to ensure that the assumptions of the accident analyses remain valid, all RCS loops are required to be OPERABLE and in operation in these MODES to prevent (what 2 things)

A

DNB and Core Damage

25
Q

What constitutes an OPERABLE RCS Loop in Modes 1 and 2?

A

An OPERABLE RCP in operation providing forced flow for heat transport and an OPERABLE SG

26
Q

With the plant in MODE 3 and the CRDM’s energized, how many RCS loops are required to be operable?

A

2 RCS loops shall be OPERABLE with BOTH in Operation

27
Q

What is the maximum permissible RCS to SG leakage? (TS 3.4.13)

A

150 gpd primary to secondary LEAKAGE through any one steam generator (SG)

Basis: Limit release to atmosphere outside ctmnt based on 10CFR100

28
Q

If the controlling channel STEAM flow fails high, what will happen the FRV?

A

The FRV will go open because Feed Flow will want to match Steam Flow

29
Q

If the controlling channel STEAM flow fails low, what will happen the FRV?

A

The FRV will go closed because Feed Flow will want to match Steam Flow

30
Q

If the controlling channel FEED flow indication fails low, what will happen the FRV?

A

The FRV will go open because Feed Flow will want to match Steam Flow

31
Q

If the controlling channel FEED flow indication fails high, what will happen the FRV?

A

The FRV will go closed because Feed Flow will want to match Steam Flow

32
Q

With the plant in MODE 3 and the CRDM’s are not energized, how many RCS loops are required to be operable?

A

2 RCS loops shall be OPERABLE with one in operation

33
Q

What, with respect to RCS Loops, is required to be operable in Mode 4? (TS 3.4.6)

A

Two loops consisting of any combination of RCS loops and residual heat removal (RHR) loops shall be OPERABLE, and one loop shall be in operation.

Basis:
Accidental boron dilution event

34
Q

What does TS 3.4.7 (RCS Loops Mode 5) require?

A

-1 RHR loop shall be OPERABLE and in operation,
AND
- a. 1 additional RHR loop shall be OPERABLE;
OR
b. The secondary side water level of at least 2 SGs shall be above the lower tap of the SG wide range level instrumentation by greater than or equal to 420 inches.

Basis:
Accidental boron dilution event

35
Q

What will happen if either the SG Level or Flow Controllers are lost?

A

The RU will instantly go to manual to maintain the FRV at its current position

36
Q

Unit 1 was operating at 100% power when a loss of main feedwater occurs to a single SG due to the failure of the controlling feedwater flow instrument.

A valid indication on the affected SG “Flows / Level / Pressure” recorder for this failure would be a rapidly lowering SG level and a?

A

high feedwater flow indication on the feedwater flow pen

37
Q

What will cause a FWI?

A
  • SG High-High level (P-14) (67% NR 2/3 on 1 SG)
