OR
→Both RHR and RCS boron concentrations are greater than 2400 ppm
OR
→RHR boron concentration is greater than required cold shutdown boron concentration AND at least one RCP (1 or 4 preferred) is operating.
What interlocks are associated to manually open 8811, Containment Sump to RHR Pump Suction Valve?
Other info about 8811s?
Interlocks:
→8812 closed - RWST to RHR Pump Suction

TS 3.9.5 RHR High Water Level (Mode 6)
One RHR loop shall be OPERABLE and in operation in MODE 6 with the water level ≥ 23 feet above the top of the reactor vessel.
TS 3.9.6 RHR Low Water Level (Mode 6)
Two RHR loops shall be OPERABLE and one RHR loop shall be in operation in MODE 6 with the water level < 23 feet above the top of the reactor vessel flange
Which conditions, per TS 3.5.2 and SOP-102, will cause dual train inoperability?
→Closing either train cross connect valve u-8716A or -B in MODE 1, 2 or 3 will render both trains of RHR INOPERABLE.
→Closing either cold leg injection valve u-8809A or -B in MODE 1, 2 or 3 will render both trains of RHR INOPERABLE.
OR
→Opening hot leg injection valve u-8840
→Opening RHRP discharge to RWST isolation valve u-8717 (alarms on SSII if not closed)
Containment Sump to RHR Suction Valves u-8811A/B open automatically when…
the RWST reaches its LO-LO alarm at 33% level and RHR swap over permissive (blue light) in, indicating SI signal is present.
When is RHR put into service?
→ put in service <350°F and <350 psig (per IPO-005)
→suction piping limited to <350°F and <400 psig
→RCS pressure from u-PT-405/403 must be <364 psig before valves can be opened
Power Supplies for Hot Leg Suction Valves (u-8701A/8702A and 8701B/8702B)
→8701A/B are A Train Electrical
→8702A/B are B Train Electrical
→Mechanical A for A, B for B
What happens if we get a blackout while we are in Cold Leg or Hot Leg Recirc?
→RHR pumps trip and do not sequence back on with the BOS
→RHR Pumps have Operator Lockout
→CCPs and SIPs lose their suction source (SIPs also trip on BO and don’t restart)
→must turn off CCPs to prevent damage
→would have to manually restart RHRPs after BOS OL times out, and then restart CCPs
RHR Miniflow Valves u-FCV-610 & 611
→500 gpm minimum
→outlet of RHR HX to suction of RHR Pump
→FT on pump discharge
→opens at 746 gpm
→closes at 1402
→powered from uEB1-1 (610) and uEB4-1 (611)
RHR HX Flow Control Valves u-HCV-606 & 607
→full open in standby
→fail open on loss of air or power uPC1/uPC4
RHR HX Bypass Valves u-FCV-618 & 619
→controls total system flow to 3950 gpm
→normally closed when in standby; maintained in manual and closed with 0% demand
→fail closed on loss of air or power
→powered through uPC1 and uPC4 with backup from uC1 (from process control cabinet 05/06)
RHR Design Basis
→bring plant from 350° F to 140° F in 24 hrs
→single train able to remove residual heat once Rx has been shut down for 150 hrs
→low head ECCS injection
SI Pumps & Recirc Valves
→Shutoff head is ~ 1558 psid
→Intermediate Head Injection at 1520 psig
→Recirculation Valves 8814A and B are both Train A power supplies
→Recirculation valve 8813 is powered from Train B
→Alarm occurs if SIP Suction valve (8806) not open above P-11, followed by another alarm 45 mins later if valve still not open
→auto starts on SI and SIS (no auto start on BO)
→trips on bus undervoltage, 86M lockout on motor breaker from overcurrent
RHR Pump Injection Flow & Pump Facts
→begins flow at ≈200 psig (approx shutoff head)
→≈4900 gpm at depressurized
→minimum flow required for seals = 500 gpm
→auto-starts on SI with SIS (NO auto-start on blackout)
→receives BOS auto-lockout for 109 sec
Accumulators Injection Pressure and Tech Spec Requirements
→623 - 644 psig, pressurize with N2
→boron concentration 2300-2600 ppm
→39% - 61% level per TDM (6119 gal to 6597 gal)
→Alarm occurs if outlet valves not open above P-11 (1960 psig), followed by another alarm 45 minutes later if valves still not open
→assumed that 3 accumulators will inject and fill reactor downcomer, lower plenum, and half the core while 1 accumulator will spill out onto the floor
Note: accumulator pressure can vary with changes in level or temperature. For this reason, level should always be adjusted before adjusting pressure.
RWST Tech Spec Requirements
Modes 1-4
→Temp: 40°F to 120°F, fix within 8 hrs
→Boron: 2400-2600 ppm, fix within 8 hrs
→Level: 473,731 ( >95% per TS Bases), fix within 1 hour
Note: If low temp alarm comes in (≈45°), recirc through containment spray pumps to warm it up.
Cold Leg Injection Flow Path & Suction Headers
→Flowpath from RWST thru all pumps to cold legs
→Separate 12” suction header for CCPs
→SIPs, RHR Pumps and CS Pumps tap off separate 24” suction header
SI Accumulator outlet valves 8808A-D
→required to be open and de-energized when RCS >1,000 psig
→auto-open on SI signal or P-11 (1960 psig)
→inject from 650 psig down to 200 psig
→keyed switches however the key only prevents closing the valve, the valve can be opened at any time in manual
→Accumulator fill line valves (8964, 8888 and 8871 close on phase A)
Accumulator outlet valves (8808A-D) automatically open on
→P-11 (1960#)
OR
→SI Signal
Design Basis Accidents
→Rod Ejection Accident: leads to LOCA and reactivity event
→Large Break LOCA - Pipe breaks in the Reactor Coolant System which cause leakage greater than the capacity of the normal makeup system, up to and including the instantaneous double ended severance of the largest diameter pipe in the RCS
→Faulted S/G - shrinkage of the reactor coolant from the rapid cooldown due to a steam or feed line break, up to and including the instantaneous rupture of the largest pipe in the steam system (positive reactivity also added due to temperature reduction
→S/G Tube Rupture
Active & Passive Failure Definitions and 10CFR50 Failure Allowances
10CFR50:
→one active failure allowed during injection phase
→one active OR passive failure allowed during long-term recirculation, 24 hrs
→worst case single active failure is a loss of a Safeguards Bus
Definitions:
→active failure is a “malfunction, excluding passive failures, of a component that relies on mechanical movement to complete its intended function upon request.”
→passive failure is “a failure of a component to maintain its structural integrity or the blockage of a process flow path.”
(defined by ANS 58.9 “Single Failure Criteria for Light Water Reactor Safety Related Fluid Systems”)
