2.3

Turbine bypass steam system, PC1-37J11-002-CNPP-45-5D, Rev 2.

Initial Conditions
3.1

Related power supply, instrumentation and control power are normal for
instruments and equipment mentioned in Appendix A and B.

Compressed air system is operating normally.

3.3

Turbine turning gear is operating normally.

3.4

One circulating water pumps are in operation.

3.5

Reactor is at Hot zero Power (Mode 2).

3.6

Wide-range water level indications of both steam generators (SGs) are at 9.310.9m.

3.7

Main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) and their bypass valves are closed.

3.8

The drain valves upstream of MSIVs are opened to atmosphere. The motoroperated isolation valves upstream of SG atmospheric relief valves are open.
Atmospheric relief valves are set at auto mode. Their set point is the
corresponding to the value of SG secondary side pressure at SRC temperature
of 280C (82%).

3.9

Precautions
4.1

Energize MSIVs, before the opening of its bypass valve SMS-V02A/B, and put
its control switches at "Closed" position.

4.2

Before main steam line warmed up, turning gear should be in continuous
operation.

4.3

When pipe after main steam isolation valve is warmed up and vacuum in
condenser is not established, drain after MSIV should be discharged to
atmosphere by using valve J010-V15 and J010-V16. After formation of
vacuum drain should be diverted to HPFT and put the valve J010-V05 in auto
mode.

4.4

Warming up of main steam lines should be performed slowly, heat up rate

should not exceed 3C/hr. The opening time of two bypass isolation valves
should be maintained same as for as possible, so that both the main steam
system pipes should be warmed up homogeneously.

4.5

Before the opening of the bypass valve of MSIV (SMS-V02A/B), open drain
valve SMS-V10 A/B to avoid water hammering.

4.6

Only when differential pressure before and after main steam isolation valve is
less than 0.2 MPa, the main steam isolation valve SMS-V01A/B can be
opened.

4.7

There should be no water hammering during main steamline warm-up.

Operation Steps
5.1

Putting system into service

5.1.1 System status preparation
a.

Confirm that all instrumentations of system as given in appendix

A "Main Steam System Instrumentation List", are put into
service, and operating normally.

b.

Confirm that equipment as given in appendix B "Main Steam

System Equipment Energized List" has been energized.

c.

Confirm that equipment status is in accordance with appendix C

"Check list for Main Steam System Valves Controlled in the
MCR".

Main Steam System

f.

Confirm that the secondary side pressure of steam generator

reaches 5.5~6.45MPa.

g.

Confirm that the drain valve before SMS-V10A/B is opened to

atmosphere and drain after MSIV have the following status:
Drain valves J010-V15 and J010-V16 are opened (drain
discharge to atmosphere) if vacuum in condenser is not
established.
Drain valve J010-V05 is on Auto and its upstream and
downstream valves J010-V01 and J010-V02 are opened and
drain is discharged to HPFT, if the vacuum in condenser is
established.

h.

MSR II stage reheater steam system piping has been drained.

i.

Confirm that operation of turning gear is normal.

j.

Start one gland steam condenser exhauster fan.

k.

Confirm that both MSIVs are at "Closed" position and green

light in MCR on respective panel is ON.

5.1.2 Main steam line warm-up after MSIVs (Nuclear power ~2%).
a.

Open the bypass valves of MSIVs SMS-V002A/B intermittently

to heat up the main steam line at a rate of 3C/min. After steady
pressure is established in the main steam pipes down stream of
bypass valve, fully open the bypass valves SMS-V002A/B of
MSIVs. Pay close attention to any abnormal change in
condenser inlet temperature, turbine High Pressure Cylinder
metal temperature. main steam system should not produce
sound due to water hammer, Monitor SG level.

b.

Close drain valve upstream of MSIVs (SMS-V10A/B).

c.

After main steam system piping has been warmed up and the
differential pressure before and after isolation valve is less than
0.2 MPa, open MSIVs SMS-V001A and SMS-V001B.

d.

Close bypass valves SMS-V002A/B after main steam isolation

following drain valves from main steam pipe to sump:
Drain from main steam header pipe to sump

J010-V15, V16

status.
5.2.2 Before the vacuum is broken, ask local operator to transfer main steam
system drain from HPDFT to sump.

5.2.4

a.

Close valves J010-V01, J010-V02, J011-VI9, V011-V21, J010V03, J010-V04, J011-V22 and J011-V23.
