Actions that occur on a Full SCRAM (7)
Both SCRAM Pilot Valves will denergize and actuate
SCRAM Inlet and Outlet valves air will vent and valves OPEN
Both Backup SCRAM valves will energize and actuate to vent air off the SCRAM air header.
The SDV vent and drain pilot valves will deenergize and the SDV vent and drain valves will CLOSE.
Ten second timer will start to prevent a SCRAM reset for ten seconds.
SDV fills and inserts a redundant scram signal (must be in shutdown or refuel to bypass and drain volume)
Actions for resetting a full scram require (8)

RPS Power Supplies
*AY160 & *BY160 provide AC power to the trip system
DC power supplies the two back up scram valves solenoids from the class 1E station batteries
Why is DC a preferred source to the UPS static inverters
filters AC line transients and provides regulated voltage and frequency to the load even if the line voltage or frequency should vary.

Failure of RPS
RO Actions on setpoints exceeded or light malfunctions
- if setpoint currentlly exceeded - Manually SCRAM the Rx & Place Mode Switch in Shutdown
- if setpoint was exceeded but no longer is - Perform a GP-4 shutdown.
- if half scram initatied and lights do not go out - immediatly insert a manual half scram on the affected trip system
- if white lights go off then leave half scram in and investigate
One *C603 RPS light extinquished
likely due to a fuse or blown bulb. A half scram on the other side will result in 1/4 of the rods scraming but the SDV vent and drains will not close.
Blue SCRAM lights
indicate that both SCRAM inlet and exhaust valves have opened.
Effect of a failure of RPS to Scram (ATWS)
turbine trip or MSIV closure will casue large pressure oscillations resulting in
SRVs opening and heating pool
large power changes due to moderator density
large level changes
ECCS may initate depending on RPV level pressure and drywell pressure

Feed water pump trips will cause RPV leve to decrease quickly and my cause ECCS initations

Stuck open SRV will cause Supression pool tem to increase and result in decreased spression pool heat capacity
Effect of a loss of DC power
RPS UPS inverters automatically switch to the alternate power source
power to the back up scram valves would be lost
Effect of a loss of *A(B)Y160 power
Half SCRAM
Half lodgic for a MSIV isolation
Various Process rad monitors trip
DWCW isolates
RECW isolates
RWCU isolates
A(B) SBGT fans start
A(B) RERS fans start
RE + RF supply & exhaust fans trip
Instrument gass isolates
bypass leakage barrier air to gas block valve and vent valve isolate leakage path
shutdown cooling system isolates
CAC and CAS vlaves close on both units
if main turbine tirps recirc pumps trip on generator lock out

Procedurally you have ten minutes to return power or RO is directed to manually scram due to RECW isolation and loss of cooling to Recirc Seals. or trip both recirc pumps.
RPS individual toggle switches on HCU for scram time testing
two switches, one for each trip system (A & B). When the switch is taken from normal to test the assoicated scram pilot valve denergizes and provides a signal rod full SCRAM. If both switches are taken to test a full scram will occur on the signal rod.
