Refuel 15 3/4 Critical Path Activities z Main Generator Rewind z B RCP Flange Leak Repair z Steam Generator Work (All Three SGs)

  • 100% Primary Side Tube Inspection
  • Secondary Inspections
  • Install/Remove Nozzle Dams

Main Generator Rewind

Close-fitting slot wedges, with radial filler strips and conforming strips, are used to anchor the bar in place.

The wedges butt end-to-end in the slot. Side ripple springs are provided to suppress bar movement in the core slots.

The side ripple springs exert a sideways force on the bars, while the wedges, fillers and top ripple springs exert a radial force on the bars.

Photo 1 shows the existing generator windings with the generator rotor removed.

Photo 2 shows the endwindings being cut off of the old windings to facilitate bar removal.

Photo 7 shows the new windings fully installed and painted.

Reactor Coolant Pump Flange Gasket Replacement

Main Flange Leakage during RF14 Main Flange Leakage on B RCP located just below CCW inlet line. Not considered pressure boundary leakage, but is RCS leakage.

Main Flange Bolts are carbon steel and susceptible to Boric Acid corrosion; all other RCP materials are stainless steel.

Leakage Location on B RCP The leakage was initially discovered in RF14, so attempts were made to eliminate the leakage by de-tensioning the 24 main flange bolts then re-stretching them to tighten the joint. The leakage returned during startup, therefore gasket replacement is necessary.

RCP Internal Components Te eliminate main flange leakage, pump internals must be removed and two gaskets must be replaced.

Main Flange Gasket Locations Thermal Barrier Turning Vane Diffuser Diffuser Adapter Problems with Turning Vane to Thermal barrier bolts or Diffuser Adapter cap screws could lead to replacement of entire assembly during RF15.
