Containment Spray system: Installed as backup for recirculation coolin<;
system for use after a LOCA. System uses residual heat removal pumps,
heat exchangers, and a spray header ring. System is initiated by LOCA.
Containment Cooling: For normal cooling and after LOCA, an air recirculation system consits of 4 fan-coil units each handling 65,000 cfh.
System includes distribution duct work.
Containment Isolation System: An isolation system is available that

automatically shuts off valves on penetrations through the containment
wall. Most penetrations have valves on both sides.
I D3.
Accumulator Tanks: None mentioned.
High-head Safety Injection: Two charging pumps deliver 360 gpm each at
2300 psig. Also, two high pressure safety injection pumps can each
provide 1750 gpm at 975 psig for small break makeup. Suction is taken
f r o m the refueling water storage tank which has a capacity of 250,000
gallons. After 100,000 gal is used, l 5 0 , O O O gpm is held for later
emergencies. System is actuated by low pressurizer pressure, and low
pressurizer water level backed up by high containment pressure.
Low-head SaEety Injection: Two heat removal system pumps provide a cor
deluge system to flood the core when system pressure drops to about
300 psig. Each of these two pumps are rated 2200 gpm at 110 psig and
take suction from the refueling water storage tank. Actuation signal
is the same as the one for high head pwnps. These pumps provide recirculation flow from the containment sump after about half of the refueling water storage tank water has been used up.

Reactor-Coolant Leak-Detection System: Provided by continuous monitor-
ing of containment air activity. Any increase in normal parameters

indicates a change in containment. The basic design criterion is the
detection of deviations from normal conditions including air particulate activity, radiogas activity, and in addition, in the case of gros:
leakage, the liquid inventory in the process systems and containment
Long-Term Cooling: Accomplished by recirculation of borated water from
the containment sump, and the use of component cooling water pumps to
supply the fan-coil units with cold water. The containment spray
system can also be used for long term cooling.

Reactor: PALISADES
Containment 'pray System:Three half-capacity pumps take suction initially from the Safety Injection and Refueling Water storage tank.
When this supply is low, suction is transferred to the containment
sump. Pumps rated 1340 gpm @ 200 psia start automatically on high
pressure in containment, or manually from the control room. During
recirculation, heat exchangers cool the water.
Containment Coo1ing:Three of four fan-coil units can hold temp. to design limits following a DBA. Normally, all 4 units run to hold temp.
below 104F with 5.5 x lo6 Btulhr total capacity. Safety injection
signal switch coolers to emergency mode opening cooling water valve
so each unit has 76.6 x lo6 Btu/hr capacity.
Containment Isolation System: Containment isolation signal initiates
closure of certain valves. In a LOCA valves associated with engineered safety features will be open.
Air FiltratioKain exhaust fan can vent 1000 cfm from
containment thru a charcoal filter system.
~~
~~~~
Ro0m:There are 2 electrical penetration areas. Pipes

come thru containment purge exhaust area.
D3.
Accumulator Tanks:Four tanks are provided, each containing 7500 gal

of borated water at 200 psia nitrogen pressure. Each tank discharges
into one of the 4 inlet nozzles. Operation is automatic and passive
simply by operation of check valves when system pressure drops to
200 psia.
High-head Safety Irijection: Three pumps supply water thru the inlet
nozzles from the safety injection and refueling water storage tank,
each rated 300 gpm @ 1100 psia. One high-pressure pump and one lowpressure pump combined can furnish sufficient cooling water for any
LOCA. Upon depletion of storage tank water, low-pressure pumps
automatically stop and suction for high-pressure pumps switch to the
containment sump.
Low-head Safety Injection: Two pumps supply water from the safety injection and refueling water storage tank, each rated 3000 gpm @ 150
psia. One high-pressure and one low-pressure pump can supply sufficient cooling water for any LOCA. Both high-pressure and lowpressure pumps are located outside containment.

Containment Floodability: Designed for flooding of compartments housing engineered safety features.
Reactor-Coolant Leak-Detection System: No reference found.
Emergency Power: Two diesel-generator sets are provided, each rated

3500 brake horsepower. Engines are designed for air starting, and
both units have 2 independent air starting systems. Units reach
rated speed and are ready for loading with 10 seconds after receipt
of the start signal. Full load can be carried after 30 seconds.
Each engine has a 600 gal. fueloilday tank plus a shared 30,000 gal.
underground storage tank. Under full load, a diesel will consume
about 200 gal/hr.
Control of Axial Xenon Oscillations By Burnable Shims, Part-Length
Control Rods, In-Core Instrumentation: Oscillations will be manually
controlled by part-length rods using information provided by the outof-core detectors. There are in-core detectors that provide information on the core.
Boron Dilution Contro1:Because of administrative procedures and safeguards provided for boron dilution, probability of an erroneous dilution is very small. Nevertheless, if an unintentional dilution does
occur, numerous alarms and indications alert the operator to the condition. The maximum reactivity addition due to dilution is slow
enough to allow the operator to determine the cause and take corrective action before shutdown margin is lost.
Long-Term Cooling: Accomplish by recirculation of sump water thru
heat exchangers, or by letting natural steam formation bleed off to
steam generators. Steam generated is vented to the atmosphere. Shutdown cooling heat exchangers have heat transfer capacity of 27.5 x lo6
Btu/hr for each of 2 .
Organic-Iodide Filter:
No reference found.
Hydrogen Recombiner: Hydrogen venting from containment will be used

to hold concentration below 3 . 5 8 V/o.

Design Basis:Designed to withstand pressure and temperature resulting

from LOCA with some metal-water reaction without l o s s of integrity.
Leakage will be less than specified by lOCFRlOO for off-site-dose guide
lines. System also designed for loads imposed by tornadoes, pipe whiplash, earthquakes, and other credible accidents without loss of integrity.

tor two psig external pressure.
Relief devices let air flow from suppression chamber to the drywell and
from the reactor building to the suppression chamber.
Post-Construction Testing:Leakage rate tests will be run at 56 psig.
The system will be pressure tested at 1.25 times the design pressure
(1.25 x 56 = 70 psig).
Instrumentation is permanently installed to provide data for calculating leakage at all pressures.
Penetrations: Electrical penetrations are double sealed and individuall!

E. OTHER SAFETY-RELATED FEATURES (cont'd) Reactor: VERMONT YANKEE

Standby Coolant System: A piping cross-tie is provided between the
Residual Heat Removal System and the service water system so an additional source of water is available for containment flooding or other
post-accident needs.
Containment Atmospheric Control System: Atmosphere will not be inerted
with nitrogen. See Section 1.2.3 for discussion of the disadvantages
and dangers of nitrogen inerting.
Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCICS): Provides makeup water

to the reactor vessel whenever the vessel is isolated or during shutdown. The RCICS uses one steam driven turbine-pump unit and operates
automatically in time and with sufficient coolant flow to maintain adequate reactor vessel water level. System can deliver 416 gpm @ 1135
psid. Pump takes suction from either demineralized water storage tank
or from suppression pool
Reactor Vessel Failure: No reference found.
Containment Floodability: Can be flooded.
Reactor-Coolant Leak-Detection System: Leaks are detected by 1) sensin
excess flow in piping systems, 2) pressure and temperature changes in
containment, 3) monitoring for high flow and temperature through selected drains, and 4 ) drywell sump leak rate alarm system. Total leakage rate limit is set at 50 gpm with 15 gprn of this classified as unidentifiable
our gamma sensitive detectors monitor main steam lines. Detectors are
ocated near main steam lines in the space between primary containment
s 3000 kW each for an indefinite period. Both units have a day tank
ith fuel for 4 hrs operation. Day tanks are supplied from a storage
1 damage as a result of a
RBM channels, each of whic'
annels. A trip signal from
bontrol rod.
