A
  • SGWLC maintains SG Narrow Range level at 43.8% for all power levels.
23
Q

What plant protection functions do the SG # transmitters provide?

A
  • SG Steam Line Break Detection
  • SI Initiation
  • Main Steam Line Isolation
  • Low Steam # Alarms
24
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*

25
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
26
Q

What is the definition of density compensation?

A
  • converts volumetric flow rate of steam to mass flow rate for input into SGWLC circuit. (Left 2 Channels ctrl SG lvl)
27
Q

Where do we measure SG Level?

A
  • SG Downcomer
28
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 #) (More intense boiling)
29
Q

What is shrink caused by?

A
  • reduction in steam flow (which will cause an decreased indication of SG lvl in the downcomer due to a rise in SG#) (Less intense boiling)
30
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 ________ and _________.

A
  1. DNB

2. Core Damage

31
Q

What constitutes an OPERABLE RCS Loop?

A
  • An OPERABLE RCS loop consists of an OPERABLE RCP in operation providing forced flow for heat transport and an OPERABLE SG
32
Q

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

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

34
