Term
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.
Term
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.
Term
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).
Term
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.
