Recic
28% Speed Runback
- Total Feedwater (FW) flow < 2.8 mlb/hr for > 15 seconds, (to ensure NPSH for Recirc pumps and jet pumps by ensuring suffiicient subcooling of the downcomer water by the incoming FW
OR
- RPV level < 12.5 inches, (anticipates RPS scram and aids in reactor power reduction)
OR
- Recirc Pump discharge valve not fully open (protect recirc pump from overheating)
Recirc
42% Speed Runback
- RPV level < 27.5 inches AND any individual RFP flow < 0.94 Mlb/hr (reduces power to restore RPV level by reducing steam flow)
OR
- Total FW flow > 12.0 Mlb/hr AND < 3 Condensate Pump breakers closed (attemps to prevent RPT trip on low suction pressure)
Thermal Stratification Restrictions
coolant temperature difference between RPV steam dome and RPV bottom head drains exceed 145F:
The Recirc pumps shall not be started,
power shall not be raised
Recirc flow shall not be raised
Basis: prevent rapid temperature increases for RPV below core components
If the running AC Lube Oil Pump fails, the standby AC Lube Oil Pump will automatically start if
The other AC Lube Oil Pump is de-energized
AND
Control switch is in "AUTO"
AND
Lube oil pressure drops to 30 psig (lowering)
AND
The associated Recirc MG Set Drive Motor breaker is racked into the "CONNECTED" position and is closed.
If both AC Lube Oil Pumps fail, the DC Lube Oil Pump will automatically start if:
Control switch is in "AUTO"
AND
lube oil pressure has dropped below 20 psig
AND
lube oil pressure has been  30 psig for  6.0 seconds
OR
Control switch is in "AUTO" AND lube oil pressure drops to 10 psig (lowering) instantaneously.

RECIRC PUMP SEAL LEAKAGE HI FLOW alarm
To OPEN the Seal Purge Valves:
Its control switch must be in "AUTO"
AND
Recirc Pump Suction Valve must be off it's closed seat
AND
One Recirc Pump Drive Motor breaker must be closed
The Seal Purge Valves will CLOSE if:
Its control switch is placed in "CLOSE"
OR
Its associated Recirc Pump Suction Valve is fully closed
OR
Both Recirc Pump Drive Motor breakers OPEN (3-min time delay)
The Seal Purge Valves fail CLOSED on:
Loss of instrument air
OR
Loss of power to the solenoid powered air supply valve
During operation with only one Recirc loop
Flow through the idle Jet Pumps is subtracted from the operating Recirc loop if:
- If one discharge valve is  90% open affected Recirc loop’s Jet Pump flow from the unaffected Recirc loop’s Jet Pump flow.
- If a Recirc Pump trips (MG Set Field Breaker opens), flow from that Recirc Pump is subtracted.
During normal operation with two Recirc loops
All flow through the Jet Pumps flows through the reactor core.
- Recirc Loop flows are added if both Recirc Pumps are running with discharge valves fully open, or if both Recirc Pump discharge valves are fully closed (both Recirc Pumps secured).
- Summing circuit add both Recirc loop flows if both Recirc loops are removed from service.
Suction Isolation Valve Interlocks
Suction Isolation Valve Interlocks
Must be full OPEN for MG Set start (close Drive Motor breaker).
 90% open - trips Drive Motor breaker.
Full CLOSED will send CLOSE signal to Seal Purge Valves when control switch is in "AUTO."
Discharge Isolation Valve Interlocks
Discharge Isolation Valve Interlocks
Must be full CLOSED for MG Set start (close the Drive Motor breaker).
Not full OPEN initiates a 28% speed runback & Drive Motor Breaker (3-minute time delay for startup).
One valve  90% OPEN - subtract recirc loop flow from other loop flow.
Normal Seal Pressure and Seal purge Flow
Normal seal pressures:
Seal 1 cavity – at reactor pressure (~1000psig)
Seal 2 cavity – 1/2 reactor pressure (~500psig)

Normal seal purge flow
CRD to Seal Cavity 1 – 1.5 gpm
Seal Cavity 1 to pump flow – 0.75 gpm
Seal Cavity 1 to Seal Cavity 2 – 0.75 gpm
Seal Cavity 2 to DEDT ("seal staging" flow) – 0.75 gpm
