Term
Function of RCIC
Definition
Maintain sufficient coolant in the reactor such that the core is not uncovered in the event of a loss of feedwater or as a result of loss of off-site AC Power.
Term
What two sources can RCIC take suction from?
Definition
CST or Torus
Term
State all the places RCIC water can go.
Definition
"Pump discharge to feedwater line, including a test line to the CST, and a minimum flow bypass to the Torus"
Term
Valves that are positioned upon automatic initiation of RCIC
Definition

The following valves open:

  • Steam supply isolation valves (MO-2075 and -2076);
  • Pump suction from CST (MO-2102);
  • Min Flow bypass to Torus (CV-2104);
  • Pump Discharge (M0-2016 and MO-2017);
  • Cooling water supply (MO-2096);
  • Steam supply to turbine (MO-2078);
  • Trip Throttle (MO-2080).

The following valves close:

  • Steam line drain isolations (CV-2082A and -2082B);
  • Condensate isolation valves (CV-2848 and -2849).
Term
What is the preferred source of RCIC suction?
Definition
CST for the high water quality which permits faster recovery following injections.
Term
Flow setpoint for RCIC injection
Definition
400 gpm
Term
Turbine auto shut down signals
Definition
  • Turbine overspeed (125% speed-nominally 5625 rpm);
  • High water level (+48");
  • Low pump suction pressure (15" Hg Vac);
  • High turbine exhaust pressure (50 psig, after 5 sec delay or 125 psig immediately);
  • Group 5 isolation;
  • Manual turbine trip pushbutton on C-04 or MO-2080 hand switch to close.
Term
Which turbine auto shut down signal closes the steam admission valve? What is tripped for all the other auto shutdown signals?
Definition
Reactor high water level trips MO-2078 (RCIC steam admission valve). All other signals trip MO-2080 (RCIC trip throttle valve).
Term
What is the purpose of tripping MO-2078 (RCIC steam admission valve) on high rx level?
Definition
Allows auto restart at -47 inches.
Term
Describe the conditions when the steam supply to the RCIC turbine is automatically isolated.
Definition

Group 5 Isolation:

  • High flow (44,434 lbm/hr) in the steam supply line with 5 SEC TIME DELAY;
  • High area temperature (187.5 degrees F);
  • Low RCIC steam line pressure (60 psig).
Term
Per B.02.03-01, what are the capabilities of the RCIC turbine driven pump?
Definition
RCIC turbine driven pump is capable of maintaining the reactor water level above the top of the core at any pressure above 165 psia with the reactor in the shut down condition.
Term

  1. Less than 840 psig with mode switch in RUN;
  2. Rx Low-Low Level (-47 inches);
  3. High Area Temp (195-200 degrees F);
  4. 135-140% steam flow.
Term
PCIS Group II
Definition
  1. Rx Low Level (+9 inches) or
  2. High Drywell Pressure (1.84 psig)
Term
PCIS Partial Group II
Definition

Non-liquid PCT trips:

  1. Fuel pool high rad (50 mR/hr) or
  2. Rx Building Plenum High rad (26 mR/hr)

NOTE: these trips are NOT 1-out-of-2 taken twice.

Term

  2. RCIC steam line area high temp (187.5 degrees F);
  3. RCIC steam line low pressure (60 psig)
Term
PCIS Group IV
Definition
