Under normal operating conditions, the S/Gs provide sufficient heat transfer capacity to convert feedwater to steam, as required, for the turbine and auxiliaries during all modes of operation.
Provides sufficient heat removal capacity to allow the main steam system to remove the total heat generated in the RCS during accident conditions.

Q
Steam Flow Limiter
7 Ventruis
A
Protect the containment from exceeding its design pressure and prevent excessive cooldown rate of the RCS by limiting the steam flow that can result from a MSLB.
Does not effect normal operations.

Q
Swirl Vane Moisture separator
A
1st stage moisture separation occurs in the swirl vanes where the velocity of the steam-water mix is converted to a rotary velocity, creating a centrifugal effect.
3 swirl vane assemblies per s/g
Separated water is drained back to the downcomer where it combines with feedwater for another pass
