FORT ST. VRAIN HELIUM CIRCULATOR AUXILIARY SYSTEMS: DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND ACCEPTANCE TESTS

摘要

The purpose of this report is to show that the dynamic performance of the Fort St. Vrain helium circulator auxiliary systems satisfies all the guidelines and criteria established and agreed to by Public Service Company of Colorado (PSC), Proto-Power, and General Atomic Company (GA) (Refs. 1, 2). Specifically, it is shown that transfers to and from backup bearing water and helium purification system transients do not cause any circulator trips. Furthermore, at PSC's request, in an effort to resolve any NFSC questions concerning these systems, the satisfactory repeatability of their dynamic performance is shown beyond any doubt.
