ATWS
Describe the purpose of ATWS. |
|
Definition
-10 CFR rule to create a redundant system to RPS. -Limits RPV pressure to <1500psig. -Fuel energy deposition to <280cal/gram and clad oxidation <17% by vol. -Containment press <56psig and suppression pool temp <170F. |

ATWS
Describe the effects on the recirc pumps with an ATWS signal. |
|
Definition
-Both pumps tripped by tripping the field breaker upon receipt of an ATWS signal. |

Term
ATWS
Describe the SCRAM air header depressurization. |
|
Definition
-Air is bled off by energizing either of the two alternate rod insertion valves (25-30secs). |
|

Term
ATWS
Describe the effects on the main turbine/feed pumps on ATWS signal. |
|
Definition
-ATWS trips main turbine and all Rx feed pumps.
-These also trip at +48" for Rx HI/HI water level. |

Term
ATWS
Describe the ATWS logic. |
|
Definition
-2 out of 2 taken once. -A and C for system A. -B and D for system B. |
|

Term
ATWS
Describe the power supplies to the ATWS channels and ARI SCRAM valves. |
|
Definition
-Channel A: Y-70 and D-11. -Channel B: Y-80 and D-21. -ARI scram valves: D-11 and D-21. |

ATWS
Describe the automatic initiation setpoints for ATWS. |
|
Definition
-Rx pressure of 1135psig. -RPV low-low level -47" with 7.3sec. -Manual initiation at C-05 (must arm). |

ATWS
Describe the effects of a loss of 125VDC on ATWS. |
|
Definition
Cant depressurize solenoid valves and may not be able to trip recirc field brkrs. |
|
|
Term
ATWS
Describe the effects of a loss of Y-70/80 on ATWS. |
|
Definition
Parallel 125VDC power supply will take over, therefore, there are no effects. |
|

Term
ATWS
Describe the effects of a loss of instrument air on ATWS. |
|
Definition
Less than 60 psi the control rods will drift in. |
