Q
What indications does 1E use to control SGWL?
A
- Looks at 2 S/G Level Indicators
- Chooses the highest of the 2 indicators for a value
3
Q
How is SGWL controlled in 1E control?
A
- Looks at the setpoint that is entered into the master controller and compares it to SGWL.
- The deviation from setpoint then causes the system to open or close the downcomer control valve to maintain SGWL (also has the ability to adjust feed pump speed……or open the economizer [will not happen if <15% because swapover would not have happened])
4
Q
Describe the anticipatory signal for 1E control of SGWL.
A
- Anticipatory signal for 1E control:
- SBCS Master Control & TLI (Turbine First Stage Pressure)
- They send a demand signal to DFWCS so it can see an increase or decrease in steam demand
- SBCS Master Control & TLI (Turbine First Stage Pressure)
5
Q
What is ATUN for 1E control?
A
- ATUN or Adaptive tuning.
- FW Temp provides adaptive tuning for 1E control
6
Q

- SGWL
- Feed Water Flow
- Steam Flow
- Looks at 3 things (YOU CANNOT BE IN 3E WITHOUT THESE INSTRUMENTS WORKING PROPERLY):
7
Q
How is SGWL used in 3E control to adjust SGWL?
A
- Looks at 2 S/G Level Indicators
- Chooses the highest of the 2 indicators for a value
- Then looks at the setpoint that is entered into the master controller
- The deviation from setpoint then causes the system to open or close the downcomer control valve to maintain SGWL (also has the ability to adjust feed pump speed……or open the economizer [will not happen if <15% because swapover would not have happened])
8
Q
How is Steam Flow used in 3E control to adjust SGWL?
A
- Steam Flow
- Adds a BIAS to the deviation of level output
- This will increase responsiveness of the controller for level deviations
- Adds a BIAS to the deviation of level output
9
Q
How is Feedwater flow used in 3E control to adjust SGWL?
A
- Feedwater flow
- Compares to the deviation that is output from the SGWL & Steam Flow and what current Flow is and makes an adjustment to the output to the valves or feed pump speed
10
Q
What is HLO and how is it used in DFWCS?
A
- HLO (High Level Override)
- 88% NR!
- Sends a zero signal to both control valves and MFP speed controller
- However since MFP controller also receives the other side of DFWCS demand it auto chooses the higher so it will be unaffected if the other side is not also in HLO
- Signal is upstream of the individual controllers therefore if a controller is in MANUAL IT IS NOT AFFECTED
- Sends a zero signal to both control valves and MFP speed controller
- 88% NR!
11
Q
What is RTO and how is it used in DFWCS?
A
- RTO (Reactor Trip Override)
- IMPORTANT TEMP: 564F Tavg from RRS (Same output as PLCS)
- How RTO works:
- Prevents an overcooling transient on a reactor trip
- Receives signal from CEDMCS that there has been a Reactor trip
- Immediately sends
- -5% demand for Economizer (valve goes closed)
- 0% demand to MFWP speed controller (pump goes to min speed)
- It then feeds using the downcomer controller based on temperature.
- It is trying to feed to maintain 564F.
- ≥ 564F the downcomer controller will modulate based on the deviation from 564F
12
Q
What is the signal that shifts DFWCS to RTO?
A
- Important Concept:
- To shift to RTO you must have EITHER UV-1 & UV-2 or UV-3 & UV-4 (I.E. UV-1 & UV-3 will not give you a reactor trip signal)
- This comes from CEDMCS we will learn more about that later
13
Q
How will the master controller in DFWCS respond to RTO?
A
- Think of it this way:
- The RTO controller receives Tavg from RRS and comes up with a deviation from 564F and sends an output signal through the master controller to the downcomer control valve.
- While this is happening the Master controller will “track” the output that the RTO controller is sending through it.
- This output on the RTO controller is limited to 9%
- IF SGWL gets to 51.9% NR the master controller takes over and shifts to 1E control at whatever the last output of RTO was (bumpless). This occurs even if the master controller was in manual prior to the trip. It will now be in Auto 1E
- 1E control will then regulate SGWL to its setpoint however, if level lowers to 26% NR RTO will take back over
14
Q
How does DFWCS respond to natural circulation conditions when in RTO?
A
- Natural Circulation in RTO
- WHEN IN NATURAL CIRC RTO WILL OVERFEED!!!!!!!!
- This is due to the large delta T generated and with longer loop transit times
- THIS WILL OVERCOOL THE PRIMARY
- WHEN IN NATURAL CIRC RTO WILL OVERFEED!!!!!!!!

20
Q
- S/G #1 has 2 level indicators each reading 51% NR
- S/G#2 has 2 level indicators one reading 50% NR and one reading 66% NR
- How is SG level being controlled in each SG?

Seal Oil supplied from TLO to vacuum tank thru level float valve
59
If vacuum is not present in the SO tank, how is H2 affected over time?
* With no vacuum in the tank **hydrogen purity goes down 2% every 8 hours**
60
What is the result on the SO system if the ESOP is running?
* Vaccum tank DOES NOT remove entrained gasses when using **ESOP because ESOP draws off the return header to fill the tank**
* **Results in lower hydrogen purity**
61

* ESOP auto starts at 110# MSOP discharge pressure
* WILL NOT trip on electrical protection only annunciate an alarm
62
What is the relationship between SO pressure and H2 pressure in the generator?
* Main Seal Oil Pressure is normally 83# with hydrogen pressure normally 75#
* 8# D/P
63
Regarding SO that has gone thru the detraining sections, what is its flowpath if MLO is operating?
What is its flowpath if MLO is not operating?
* **Oil that enters the detraining sections get directed back to the MLO system**
* Due to MLO system pressure holding closed the SO return line check valve
* On a loss of MLO the detraining oil goes back to the vacuum tank
* This will result in a closed loop SO system and cause the SO temperature to increase.
64
What is the major action(s) required for a complete loss of SO?
The turbine must be tripped and the MG purged of H2.
65
What effect does a loss of ESOP and Main SO pump have on the SO system?
MLO will supply seal oil at a reduced pressure ~ 25#. Vacuum detraining is not available. H2 pressure drops to just below MLO pressure. This is below the minimum H2 pressure for operation, and requires a MG shutdown.
66
What is the signifigance of the SO/H2 DP LO alarm?
H2 may be escaping to atmosphere out of the MG seals.
67
