Describe the RCIC test line valve interlocks.
Definition
-If either TORUS suction valve (MO-2101/2100) is open then a closed signal is shut to the RCIC test return isolation valves (MO-2110/3502).
-This is done to prevent diverting water meant to go to the vessel to going back to the CSTs.
Term
RCIC

Describe the RCIC steam trap valve interlocks.
Definition
-If the turbine steam supply valve (MO-2078) is open (opens on RCIC initiation signal) then the steam trap drains to the cond (CV-2082A/2082B) shut.

Definition
-Inboard (MO-2107) and outboard (MO-2106) (both DC) open on RCIC initiation signal.

Definition
-Both inboard (MO-2075) and outboard (MO-2076) are normally open.
-Only the outboard gets an open signal on initiation.
-Inboard AC outboard DC.
Term
RCIC

Describe the turbine steam inlet valve (MO-2078) alarms.
Definition
-If turbine steam inlet valve (MO-2078) is 25% (or greater) open for 15 seconds with flow < 40gpm then actuates an alarm.
Term
RCIC

Describe cond pump discharge path and interlocks.
Definition
-If stam supply inlet valve (MO-2078) is open then the discharge valves (CV-2849/2848) to CRW are shut.
-Cond pump discharge is then directed to the RCIC pump suction.
Term
RCIC

Describe where RCIC non-condensibles are discharged to.
Definition
-Discharged to the TORUS air space.
-This is an oxygen concern.
Term
RCIC

Describe where RCIC lube oil gets cooling.
Definition
-16gpm is diverted from RCIC pump discharge to the lube oil cooler.
Term
RCIC

Describe RCIC exhaust overpressure protection.
Definition
-RCIC trip if 125# instantaneously or 50# for 5 seconds.
-Two rupture discs in parallel.
-Discs rupture at 150+/- 10# and discharge to RCIC room.
-Alarm at 5# to detect leakage past first rupture disc.
Term

-Steam supply to turbine (MO-2078) open causes steam trap drains (CV-2082A/2082B) to shut.
-Test return to CST (MO-2110/3502) shut.
-Vacuum pump starts.
-Steam supply to turbine (MO-2078) open causes cond pump disch to RW valves (CV-2848/2849) to shut and align discharge to RCIC pump suction.
