Term
Con Sto

Describe the purpose of condensate storage.
Definition
-To assure that an adequate quantity of reactor-quality water is available for refueling and normal plant operations.
-Up to 460,000 gallons for:
-Hotwell makeup and reject.
-Control Rod Drive supply.
-Fuel Pool storage makeup.
-Demineralizer and radwaste processing.
-Filling the refueling wells.
-Misc plant flushing and decontamination.
-Pressurizing RHR and CS piping.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the condensate storage tanks and overflow tank.
Definition
-2 stowage tanks rated at 230,000 gal each.
-9,400 gal/ft.
-Maintained at 100F.
-1 overflow tank rated at 500 gallons.
-Stowage tanks vented to recombiner and overflow tank, overflow tank vented to atmosphere.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the condensate service pumps and jockey pump.
Definition
-2 cond serv pumps rated at 800gpm each.
-Jockey pump rated at 75gpm.
-#11 pump powered by MCC-111.
-#12 pump powered by MCC-141.
-Jockey pump powered by MCC-141.
Term
Con Sto

Describe temperature control of CST's and why.
Definition
-CSTs located outside.
-Heat trace system (electricity) through CSTs to maintain temperature roughly 100F.
-Powered by L-18.
-Done to prevent thermal shock to feedwater nozzles during auto-initiation of HPCI and RCIC.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the level setpoints in the CSTs.
Definition
-Top of tank: 25'.
-Over flow: 24'6".
-High level alarm: 24'.
-Low level alarm: 11'6".
-Low-low level alarm: 7'.
-HPCI/RCIC operability level: 6'8".
-HPCI/RCIC auto Xfer to TORUS: 2'8".
-Overflow tank low" 88gal/500gal (1'3").
Term
Con Sto

Describe what happens on a CST low-low level alarm.
Definition
-Secures both cond pumps.
-Secures jockey pump.
-Shuts the hotwell makeup valves.
Term
Con Sto

Describe where the overflow tank drains.
Definition
Reactor building equipment drain sump.
Term
Con Sto

Describe when a cond pump auto starts.
Definition
-Low header pressure < 95#.
-F/d backwash started.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the operation of the cond pumps.
Definition
-Operated from C-80 and C-96.
-If both in AUTO: lead pump auto starts.
-If both in RUN: Neither pump will run.
-If either in STOP: Neither pump will run.
-If 1 in AUTO and 1 in RUN: lead pump runs continuously.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the AOVs in Con Sto.
Definition
-1 AOV (AO-2886) is isolation for pressurizing station supply line.
-Auto open if shut @ <95#.
-Fails closed on loss of air.
-2nd AOV (CV-1378) sets F/D backwash line pressure at 60#.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the Con Sto heat exchanger.
Definition
-Designed to maintain CSTs warm.
-Not normally used due to increased CRD return flow.
-Can be placed in service if shutdown in winter.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the Con Sto low temperature alarm setpoint.
Definition
90F.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the Con Sto system low pressure alarm.
Definition
95psig.
Term
Con Sto

Describe Con Sto keepfill.
Definition
-Keep 30psi on CS pump discharge and 40psi on RHR Hx outlet.
-Careful on bypassing pressurizing stations as teh PCV stem can easily by bent.
-Drops pressure from 150# to 20# at pressurizing stations.
-Bypassing a pressure control valve can cause flow to the vessel through SDC loop if SDC pressure is < condensate service pressure.
Term
Con Sto

Describe the low level bypass.
Definition
-Can bypass the low level pump trip (7') when filling Rx cavity during an outage.
