Q

How is resin removal accomplished in the SR Spent Resin Tanks?

A

By a line inside a line, which provides sluice water in the outer pipe area through a Johnson screen to the inner pipe area, near the tank bottom. This transports resin with an educator effect as the water/resin exits the inner pipe

Q

Following a loss and restoration of power to the Resin Transfer pump, how is the pump restarted?

A

Manually

18
Q

What is the purpose of the Vendor system?

A

Designed to convert plant evaporator concentrates into a non-dispersible form, which is packaged in 55 gallon drums for disposal

19
Q

What is the purpose of the Radioactive Filter Transfer Cask?

A

Used to shield highly radioactive filters while being transported from the filter vault(120’ aux building) to a disposable container (RW building)

20
Q

How thick is the lead shielding in the SR Filter Transfer Casks?

A

8 inches

21
Q

What are some of the requirements on using the Disposable Containers in the SR system?

A

Must be chemically compatible with the waste material so that the waste material does not adversely affect the integrity of the container

Container needs to have the proper dewatering internals system consistent with the waste being processed

22
Q

What boxes are used for DAW storage and transport?

A

Connex boxes

23
Q

In the SR system, what does NH power?

Q

In the SR system, what does NK power?

A

Control panel annunciators

25
Q

What other system inputs does SR receive?

A

liquid waste from LR (reduced, vacuum dried, put into 55 gal. drum or HIC)

resin from LR, CVCS and PC (sluiced to a liner or HIC, dewatered and dried in resin drying system)

disposable solid radwaste generated by plant operation

26
Q

How does Ancillary buildings HVAC interface with SR?

A

Dry Active Waste Processing and Storage facility HVAC

27
Q

What does IA do for the SR system?

A

air operated valves

28
Q

What are the differences between the HASRT and LASRT? Where are they located?

A

HASRT has more shielding around it

100’ RW building

29
Q

In the SR system, how is level tracked in the spent resin tanks?

A

spreadsheet based on calculated inputs and outputs

30
Q

What are the major components of the resin drying system?

A

chiller

blower skid

control panel

humidity monitoring system

remote video system

31
Q

In the SR resin drying system, what is the waste transfer system?

A

32
Q

In the SR resin drying system, what is the fillhead?

A

provides the connections between the waste transfer system and the disposable container

connects to the piping skid to remove excess water from the container

connects to the blower skid for incoming dry, hot air for drying process

also contains the video camera, electrical connections, pressure switch and cooling air supply

33
Q

In the SR resin drying system, what is the piping skid?

A

skid with hose connections for processing powdered and bead resins, entrainment separator tank to collect the removed water, and an air driven pump to remove the water from the separator tank

34
Q

In the SR resin drying system, what is in the entrainment separator tank that condenses the moisture in the air that is pumped through the resin bed during the drying process?

A

refrigeration coils

35
Q

In the SR resin drying system, what is the chiller unit for?

A

contains a compressor, hoses and cooling fan for cooling the separator tank

36
Q

In the SR resin drying system, what is the blower skid?

A

a blower to recirculate the air trough the drying system components

oil separators and filters to remove oil and particulates from recirc air

37
Q

In the SR resin drying system, what is the humidity monitoring system?

A

measures the humidity of the entrainment separator tank

38
Q

In the SR resin drying system, what is the remote video monitoring system?

A

camera mounted to verify level during resin transfer with light dimmer control

Q

Concerning the SR resin drying system waste container, what do you need to beware of? What is done to solve this issue?

A

exothermic reactions

flood the container with plant sourced water

40
Q

What is the most important feature of the SR resin drying system?
