Front 1

a. Non-safety related (normal) HVAC - purpose

Back 1

- The secondary containment HVAC systems serve several functions. The normal (non-safety related) supply and exhaust systems for the reactor enclosure and refuel floor maintain acceptable temperature in the respective areas under normal conditions and ensure building pressure is slightly less than atmospheric pressure. They also provide for an elevated release path for air exhausted, and continuously monitor radioactivity being released. In the reactor enclosure, areas of higher potential contamination are exhausted through a filtered exhaust system (Reactor Enclosure Equipment Compartment Exhaust), further limiting released activity.

Front 2

b. Reactor Enclosure Recirculation System (RERS) - purpose

Back 2

- Under abnormal conditions, the normal supply and exhaust systems in the affected areas will trip. The safety related systems will automatically start. The air in the reactor enclosure affected will be recirculated through charcoal filters by the Reactor Enclosure Recirc System, reducing airborne contamination.

Front 3

c. Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) - purpose

Back 3

- A second charcoal filtered system, Standby Gas Treatment, will take a suction on the affected area, maintaining the area at a negative pressure, and removing airborne activity from the air drawn from the area, limiting the activity released.

Front 4

d. Safeguard Pump Room Unit Coolers - purpose

Back 4

- Maintain temperature in HPCI, RCIC, CS, and RHR pump rooms low enough to ensure equipment operates correctly and the room remains habitable. In the case of each RHR and CS pump, one of two coolers must be operable for the each ECCS to be considered operable. They will operate automatically during normal or accident conditions. Each pump has two cooling coil and fan units normally cooled by service water, and cooled by Emergency Service Water (ESW) under accident conditions with a loss of normal service water. Since there are two RHR Pumps per RHR pump room (A and C, B and D) there are four total unit coolers in each RHR pump room, however, credit is only taken for the two coolers dedicated to (and aimed at) each pump motor. HPCI, RCIC, and each Core Spray Pump are in individual rooms, with two unit coolers each.

e. Steam Flooding Isolation Dampers - purpose

Back 5

- Installed in the supply and return ducts to rooms containing high energy water or steam pipes. These series backpressure dampers automatically close upon sensing inside duct pressure 5” W.G. above outside duct pressure, indicating a large steam break. The safety function of these dampers is to contain steam, and prevent rendering equipment in other rooms inoperable due to steam spreading via HVAC ducts.

function of the following components:
b. Prefilters

Back 6

- Pre-filter for removing dust and dirt which could clog the remaining filters

Front 7

function of the following components:
c. HEPA filters

Back 7

- Upstream HEPA filter for particulates
- Downstream HEPA filter for removal of any remaining particulates or any charcoal fines which break through

Front 8

function of the following components:
d. Charcoal filters

Back 8

- Charcoal adsorber bed, which holds up (adsorbs) iodine for decay

Front 9

function of the following components:
e. Safeguard room coolers

Back 9

- The safeguard room unit coolers operate automatically to maintain the respective ECCS equipment operable. Each fan is 100% capacity, with its own cooling coil. Each pump has two fans dedicated to it.

Front 10

function of the following components:
f. Steam flooding isolation dampers

Back 10

- Redundant series isolation dampers are installed in the supply and exhaust lines for rooms containing steam or high energy water lines. (See P&ID M-76, Sheet 5 Table J for a listing.)
- The dampers are normally open. When actuated, they close by means of a weighted arm. A DC solenoid energizes to release the weighted arm, isolating the duct.

Front 11

function of the following components:
g. Charcoal filter deluge (explain why it is needed)

Back 11

- The iodine which can accumulate in the charcoal can generate significant decay heat. The possibility exists that it could ignite the charcoal. To protect against the damaging effects of a fire, the filter banks are equipped with a high temperature alarm on panel *0C205, and manually initiated (locally) fire protection deluge.
- 200°F causes a MCR alarm "*0C205 Trouble"
- Charcoal bed temperature is indicated on *0C205. Procedures direct that the bed will be sprayed if temperature exceeds 550°F.
- Ignition temp is ~600°F

Front 12

function of the following components:
h. Blowout Panels

Back 12

- Once a room with a large steam leak is isolated, pressure will continue to rise until a blowout panel actuates, to protect the building integrity. (The dampers hold pressure higher than required to lift the blowout panels.) Later, the damper must be locally relatched.
- HPCI/RCIC to valve room 0.1 psid
- Valve room to outside .5 psid
- RWCU to outside .5 psid
- Steam Tunnel .5 psid

Front 13

effect that a loss or malfunction of the Reactor Enclosure Ventilation System will have on the following:
a. Secondary Containment Temperature

Back 13

- Under isolation conditions, air is no longer drawn through the supply heating and cooling coils, which will affect zone temperatures.

Front 14

effect that a loss or malfunction of the Reactor Enclosure Ventilation System will have on the following:
b. Secondary Containment Pressure

Back 14

- A trip of normal HVAC will cause zone DP to decay. A failure of supply fans to trip on a loss of exhaust fans can cause actuation of blowout panels.

Front 15

effect that a loss or malfunction of the following will have on the Standby Gas Treatment System.
a. AC Power

Back 15

- SGTS fans are powered as follows from Safeguard 480 VAC:
0AV163 D114-R-C (Div. 1)
0BV163 D124-R-C (Div. 2)
- Notice that both are powered from Unit 1 Div. 1 and Div. 2. This makes these divisions very important for Unit 2, since SGTS is common. A loss of SGTS operability will require both units to shut down.

Front 16

effect that a loss or malfunction of the following will have on the Standby Gas Treatment System.
b. Isolation Logic

Back 16

- Normally, both SGTS fans are in AUTO. Consequently, both fans will start on a full RE or RF isolation (this assumes both divisions of logic trip).

Front 17

effect that a loss or malfunction of the following will have on the Standby Gas Treatment System.
c. Secondary Containment High In-Leakage

Back 17

- When drawing on Zone 1 or Zone 2, the SGTS flow should be 2500 cfm or less. Zone 3 flow should be 764 cfm or less. After initial draw-down of the zone, the indicated SGTS flow represents the zone in-leakage.

Front 18

effect that a loss or malfunction of the Standby Gas Treatment System will have on the following:
a. Secondary Containment and Environment Differential Pressure

Back 18

- SGTS maintains a negative pressure in those areas that are isolated. A loss of SGTS would allow the pressure in the RE/RF area to equalize with outside pressure.

Front 19

effect that a loss or malfunction of the Standby Gas Treatment System will have on the following:
b. Off-Site Release Rate

Back 19

- The SGTS draws air from those areas that are isolated and filters the exhaust prior to its release to the North stack. A loss of SGTS will allow the pressure in the affected zone to equalize with the outside air pressure and uncontrolled radiological releases can occur at any zone opening.
