Q

What is required to start the PDP?

A

→8109 must be open (PDP recirc valve)
→No train A BO (OL)
→No train A SI (AL)
→HS taken to START

Note: If HS is taken to START with 8109 closed, it will auto-open. Once 8109 is open, PDP HS will need to be taken back to START to start the pump.

Q

What occurs when you raise/lower Letdown HX outlet temperature?

A

→Raise T: negative reactivity due to releasing boron
→Lower T: positive reactivity due to absorbing boron in mixed beds
→Per SOP-103, when placing a standby bed in service, special care should be taken not to add positive reactivity due to absorption of boron in the bed
