Power supply to seismic monitoring
32AB from E7(Normal) and E8(Alternate). Seismic UPS powers Alarm & Interconnect Panel and Central Controller
Define CORE ALTERATION per Tech Specs.
CORE ALTERATION shall be the movement of any fuel, sources, or reactivity control components, within the reactor vessel with the vessel head removed and fuel in the vessel. The following exceptions are not considered to be CORE ALTERATIONS: a. Movement of source range monitors, local power range monitors, intermediate range monitors, traversing incore probes, or special movable detectors (including undervessel replacement); and b. Control rod movement, provided there are no fuel assemblies in the associated core cell. Suspension of CORE ALTERATIONS shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position.
Define Shut Down Margin per Tech Specs.
SDM shall be the amount of reactivity by which the reactor is subcritical or would be subcritical assuming that: a. The reactor is xenon free; b. The moderator temperature is 68°F; and c. All control rods are fully inserted except for the single control rod of highest reactivity worth, which is assumed to be fully withdrawn. With control rods not capable of being fully inserted, the reactivity worth of these control rods must be accounted for in the determination of SDM.
Per TS 3.3.1.2 how many SRMs are required to be operable in Mode 5?
2 of 4 are required to be operable One in quadrant moving fuel and one in an adjacent quadrant.
What is supposed to happen if communications are lost between the control room and refuel bridge? What are normal types of communications?
All Core alterations are suspended if communications are lost. Bridge communicates the step number, BOTH before latching AND before lowering into the core AND step completion.
What are the manning requirements on the refuel bridge for core alterations
Refuel Floor SRO, bridge operator, spotter
what is the neutronic bridge prerequisite to core alts?
ensures you can monitor the entire loaded area for inadvertent criticality load 4 bundles around EACH SRM load bundles in path between EITHER A and C or B and D
What are reasons to stop fuel moves / suspend core alts?
ANY SRM doubles between any single bundle insertion ANY SRM 5x or greater from its baseline during multiple bundle insertions Loss of amber engaged light when grappled to something, this will go out if either hook is not closed. airborne security threats indications of criticality loss of comms malfunction of any NI dropped or damaged fuel bundle hi rad OR airborne on refuel floor Rx cavity level drops OR SFP level drops
What do you do if you have to stop fuel moves or suspend core alts?
ALWAYS put the component in a safe position PRIOR to stopping
What is the Slack Cable indication?
low load felt - 50 lbs + or - 25 lbs downward motion will be blocked
What is the Hoist Jam indication?
High load and upward motion is blocked. Fuel hoist (main grapple) is 1600 lbs
What is the hoist override?
Allows hoist to be raised above the normal limit
What are the hoist normal loads?
Fuel hoist (main hoist) normal load is 750 lbs All other hoists - 350 lbs
What are the normal hoist release and engage control caveats?
Both hooks must be closed to get an amber Engaged Light. If the grapple does not open within 5 seconds it will auto re-engage Hooks fail as is on loss of air Hooks fail closed on loss of power
How do you read core coordinates?
Read up then across - North - West convention… Always read North first
How do you tell fuel bundle orientation?
the direction boss points in the direction of its orientation. Towards the control rod center
How can you verify the position of a fuel bundle?
- Serial # - readable from center 2. Channel fastener – on central corners secures channel to assembly 3. ID Boss – points towards center 4. Spacer buttons – adjacent to control rods maintain wide-wide gap 5. Cell to cell symmetry. Heights even across all bundles
What is the typical direction of the control rod bail handles?
East- West
What refuel bridge functions are limited by rod blocks?
None. They are only control room functions.
What are the function of the refueling interlocks?
They limit the probability of an inadvertent criticality during refueling. If the interlocks fail, the chance of criticality is greatly increased. Changing reactivity by two or more independent means simultaneously is prohibited.
What distance is traveled by one core unit on the refuel bridge?
3”
What is the caveat of LCO 3.9.7 - Residual heat removal RHR - high water level
The required RHR shutdown cooling subsystem may be removed from operation for up to 2 hours per 8 hour period. applicability: mode 5 with fuel in the RPV and water level > or = 21’ 10” above RPV flange.
What is the purpose of a double blade guide?
provide support to a control rod when more than 2 diagonally adjacent fuel assemblies are removed from a single fuel cell
What are the inputs to the refueling interlocks associated with the grapple? How do the refueling interlocks affect the hoist?
Not full up OR Any hoist loaded resulting block: hoist motion block
What are the inputs to the refueling interlocks associated with the refuel bridge? How do the refueling interlocks affect the bridge?
Over the core (past LS1) resulting block: reverse motion block
What are the inputs to the refueling interlocks associated with control rod position? How do the refueling interlocks affect control rod movement?
All rods not full in (from green light on P603) resulting block: rod out block
The mode switch must be in what position for the refuel interlocks to be enforced?
Mode Switch in Refuel or Startup/Hot Standby
