Q

The plant has experienced a loss of service water. The Control Room is implementing

B. Fire Protection System Pumps could be operated at shutoff head.
C. Both P-9A, motor-driven fire pump, and P-13, fire system jockey pump, will be
isolated from the Fire Protection System.
D. Fire Protection System Pumps could be operated in a runout condition.

A

D. Fire Protection System Pumps could be operated in a runout condition.
A. Incorrect: P-13 will trip when P-9A auto starts at 98 psig.
B. Incorrect: The service water header loads effectively double the loading on the fire pumps. Shutoff
head would only be indicated if the pumps were isolated from the headers or loads.
C. Incorrect: The service water and fire water cross-tie does not isolate P-13 or P-9A from the Fire
Protection header.
D. Incorrect: The maximum capacity of the fire protection pumps is 6750 gpm at 107 psig. With fire
protection system crosstied to service water, the service water loading exceeds this max capacity causing
pumps to potentially reach runout conditions at 60 psig.
