Q

What does the flow restrictor do on each MS outlet from the SG?

A
  • Provide plant protection, in case of MSLB, by decreasing steam flow rate to reduce RCS cooling rate.

Q

Control air header pressure is lowering at a fast rate. At 80 psi, the reactor is manually tripped, and header pressure continues to lower. What will happen to the air reg valves in the BD system if pressure continues to lower?

A

All air reg valves on BD system will isolate on loss of ctrl air

  • DRV-350/352
  • BD isolation valves
  • BD Flow Ctrl Valves
  • BD Sample Valves

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

Q

What is density compensation?

A

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

17
Q

Where do we measure SG Level?

A

SG Downcomer

18
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)

19
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)

20
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

21
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

22
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

23
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

24
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

25
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

26
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

27
Q

What will cause a FWI?

A
  • SG High-High level (P-14) (67% NR 2/3 on 1 SG)
  • SI
  • Rx trip (P-4) with low Tavg (Tavg less than 554°F on 2/4 loops)
28
Q

What happens on a High High SG Level of 67%?

A
  1. FWI
  2. Turbine Trip
  3. MFP Trip
29
Q

Can chemistry override the High Radiation signal that made the sample valves closed?

A

YES

30
Q

High Level in a Blowdown Flash Tank will…

A

Close Blowdown Isolation DCRs 310 through 340

31
Q

Low Level in a Blowdown Flash Tank will…

A
  • Trip SGBD Treament Pump
  • Close DRV-350 SGBD Flashtank to TRS
32
Q

Why does a failure of the SG Pressure input affect that SGs SF channel?

A

Because the steam flow channels are density compensated
