Fast Transfer
Fast transfer is initiated by a generator lockout.
If a generator lockout is initiated:
• 11 (21) and 12 (22) bus breakers trip
• The selected startup bus breaker closes
o The startup bus breaker that closes is selected by a two position switch for each bus. The 11 unit aux bus has one switch with positions 10-11/20-11. If 10-11 selected, the 10-11 breaker closes.
• Normally selected S/U sources:
o 11 bus to 10 SU bus
o 22 bus to 10 SU bus
o 12 bus to 20 SU bus
o 21 bus to 20 SU bus
The fast transfer will not occur if the feeder bus has a fault, or feeder bus is < 95% rated voltage or if other source is still closed in.
DC Distribution for aux power control power
(non-safeguard DC controls all 13.2KV breakers)

Emergency Stop for RFPT MSC control
When Emergency Stop is depressed, the control signal to the RFP immediately result in a speed demand of 0.0 RPM. IF the MSC control switch is taken to raise the speed signal will increase until it matches the actual speed of the RFP, at that time RFP speed will respond to the MSC control switch. Operationally the Emergency stop can be used to slow down feed to the vessel. It closes the control valves (uses Woodward to shut the control valves). To recover, simply press Auto Start, which will bring you back up to about 2000 rpm. If you tripped the turbine, you would have to reset the trips. Must manually raise to 2300 rpm. 2300 ~ 850#.

Recall the purpose of and the conditions causing a FWLC Scram profile and Transfer to Start Up Level Control, including the following:
a. Results of Scram profile.
b. Reset of Scram profile
b. Results of the Transfer to Start Up Level Control
1) The profile predicts the steam production after a scram and controls feedwater flow in order to minimize the flow and reactor level transients
2) The profile is also designed to meet the relative runback in the reactor Recirc flow, minimizing thermal stress on the reactor internals caused by non-preheated feedwater
3) Activated by a signal from both RPS A and B
4) When SCRAM Profile is activated (light illuminated):
a. T=0 to10 seconds Total Feedwater Flow is locked at it’s current value.
b. T=10 seconds Total Feedwater Flow is lowered at a rate of rate of 6%/sec to a 10% Feedwater Flow demand
c. 10% Feedwater Flow demand is maintained until Scram Profile is automatically reset
d. If total feedwater flow is less than 10% when the scram occurs (low power scram) the feedwater flow demand is locked to its present value as long as the post scram profile signal is activated. No ramping is performed
5) A Failure of RPS to scram results in a failure of the SCRAM Profile even if ARI worked
Recall the purpose of and the conditions causing a FWLC Scram profile and Transfer to Start Up Level Control, including the following:
b. Reset of Scram profile
6) The SCRAM profile signal is reset automatically (light extinguished):
a. 20 seconds after SCRAM profile activated AND Reactor water level greater than 20" (I.E. it never went below 20" like on a Low power scram) OR
b. Reactor water level has recovered from below 20” to greater than 20" OR
c. SCRAM Profile has been activated for more than 2 minutes OR
d. Reactor water level is greater than 39" OR
At least one of the RPS channels is reset AND Reactor water level greater than 20"
7) When reset occurs an automatic bumpless transfer to single-element control occurs (single element is selected as total feedwater flow is less than 20%). The reactor water level setpoint ramps slowly from the low-level setpoint to the value set on the FWLC station This slow ramp is called Setpoint Setdown
8) The feedwater control system logic is designed so that whenever reactor level drops below 20" and then recovers above 20" a Setpoint Setdown will occur, regardless of if a valid SCRAM signal is present or not. The level setpoint will then ramp back up to 35" at a rate of 3.6 inches per minute. This may cause reactor level to lower a second time as the system demand will drop to zero when level is at the setpoint
Recall the purpose of and the conditions causing a FWLC Scram profile and Transfer to Start Up Level Control, including the following:
b. Reset of Scram profile
9) Post SCRAM actions
a. A RFP and one other RFP (B or C) are automatically run back to standby mode (2300 RPM min flow at 60%)
b. In standby mode, RFP A is prepared for bypass control w/Startup Bypass Valve
i. "A" RFP Discharge Valve HV-006-*08A is closed automatically
ii. After the discharge valve is closed: "A" RFP speed increases to maintain a discharge pressure approximately 330 Psig above reactor pressure
iii. Startup Bypass Stop Valve is opened automatically, and the Startup Bypass Valve is opened to 10%
iv. Then the following occur simultaneously
1. Speed of one of the remaining RFPs is ramped down to standby mode
2. The Startup Bypass Valve opens slowly to maintain level
DFWLC d/P Mode
a. This mode of operation works to always maintain the RFP discharge pressure above reactor pressure. As reactor pressure is increased during startup, the RFP will automatically increase in speed until it's dP is "adequate." At the same time, the *38A valve modulates open and closed based on reactor level
Condensate
Min recirc flow valve
Purpose, Open, & Close
Functions to ensure adequate condensate pump minimum flow. Ensure adequate condensate flow through the SJAE and SPE to condense the steam required for proper operation.

Valve will OPEN when the sum of condensate flow at the 3rd feedwater heater is less than the (7500 gpm)


Valve will CLOSE on a low condensate header pressure condition (500psi)
Condensate filter demins flow control in auto
Flow balancing system – maintains a balanced flow rate between the filters. Each vessel has a flow transmitter, controller and positioner that throttles the vessels outlet valve to a desired flow.

The master controller selects the highest signal (most flow restriction) of all vessels in AUTO and adjusts all signals to match until the most restricted filter is at 80% open. On a high influent to effluent header d/p (50 psid) the master controller signal to all vessels is isolated and all vessel outlet valves go to the full OPEN position.
Condensate filter demins flow control in manual
In MANUAL operation – when the individual flow controller is taken to MANUAL, a solenoid repositions to shut off the air from the main controller so the master controller no longer sees this as the controlling vessel. And the vessels "E" valve will be controlled by that valves flow controller.
Condensate filter demin high DP setpoints and resulting actions
IF system DP > 50 psi – all valves ramp full OPEN
IF system DP > 54 psi – filter system bypass valve OPENS
Condensate deep bed Demineralizers and DP setpoints and resulting actions
No flow control system all valves are full open and denergized (If energized PLC logic closes all effluent valves on a instrument power failure)

System Bypass valves
12" – (1 demin capacity) will auto open when system DP > 62 psi for 30 seconds
30" – (full system capcity) will auto open when system DP > 65 psi.
Hotwell Level Control
Hotwell level control is designed to automatically maintain the desired hotwell level (42.25" to 50.25") via two reject valves (3" for fine control and 8" for coarse control) located downstream of the demins and two make up valves (2.5" for fine control and 8" for coarse control). The reject fine control valve is gagged to maintain constant reject flow of 200 gpm to support reject loads.

Both reject valves close on low condensate header pressure(500 psi) or high CST level (42')
Condensate Reject Loads
Reject flow supplies:
CRD pump suction
Condensate pump seal water
SJAE and SPE loop seals
Mechanical vacuum pump seal water

Discharge valve not full open with no motion (35 sec TD from start)
Exhaust Hood Spray Valve OPEN interlocks
Valve opens when exhaust hood temperatre exceeds 160F
AND
turbine speed is > 95% of rated
AND
load is less than 15% as sensed at LP turbine inlet.
Effect of a Insturment air failure on condensate system
o Exhaust hood spray temperature control valve – fails closed
o Condensate drain tank level control valve – fails closed, overflows to CRW
o Condensate minimum flow recirculation valve – fails open, desirable on SCRAM
o Hotwell makeup and reject valves – fail closed, hotwell level rises (throttle makeup and reject valves to remedy)
o Condensate filter demineralizer influent and effluent valves – fail as is
o Condensate filter and deep bed demineralizer replenishment valves – fail closed
