SUMMARY

PUBLIC VERSION FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT MARKUP

Chapter 4 - Irradiation Unit and Radioisotope Production Facility Description Neutron Driver Assembly System As the ion beam is accelerated, its initial divergence and any space charge forces cause it to grow in radius. The ion beam is focused by solenoid electromagnets, which focus the expanding ion beam through the differential pumping stages into the aperture of the target chamber. If the focus elements failed to operate properly, the ion beam size change would cause the neutron yield to drop. If the focus elements failed and caused the ion-beam to diverge or misalign from the target chamber, the ion-beam divergence would cause the neutron yield to drop.

The target gas within the chamber is maintained at low vacuum to provide proper target atom density. The accelerated deuterium ions impinge upon the neutral deuterium and tritium atoms within the target chamber to initiate fusion. Each D-T fusion reaction produces a single high energy neutron (approximately 14.1 million electron volt [MeV]) and a single high energy alpha particle (approximately 3.5 MeV). The neutrons produced radiate outward, with most entering the SCAS. To maintain the high vacuum differential between the accelerator and the target chamber, neutral gas which escapes the target chamber is extracted from the drift tube by a configuration of blowers and turbomolecular pumps. The extracted neutral target gas is then exhausted from the blowers back into the target chamber.

The neutron driver is supplied with high voltage from the remotely placed HVPS. Subsystems of the neutron driver are controlled and powered by the control cabinets. Cooling for the ion source, solenoid magnets, turbo pumps, blowers, and target chamber is accomplished by circulating deionized cooling water from the cooling cabinet. Operators interface with the neutron driver from the control room, and maintenance access is possible using a maintenance control station.

Target gas and ion source gas are provided by the TPS which also controls the target gas purity and composition. See Subsection 9a2.7.1 for more details on TPS.

4a2.3.4 CONTROL SYSTEM The NDAS operates with an internal control system that operates each of the subsystems of NDAS. The NDAS responds to the control signals from the facility PICS to start and stop the neutron generation. Typical NDAS operational conditions include:

1. System Off;
2. Vacuum;
3. Standby; and
4. Beam On; and
5. Decontamination.

During System Off, all systems except the control system are de-energized. During Vacuum, the NDAS is at its operating vacuum levels but beam focusing and steering magnets are de-energized. During Standby, all systems are operational and steady state, high voltage lines are de-energized. During Beam On, the neutron driver is fully operational. During Decontamination, the NDAS is evacuated and purged to allow for tritium decontamination before performing maintenance on the NDAS tritium process boundary components and secondary enclosures.

The NDAS neutron yield is normally maintained within 10 percent stability during the irradiation cycle. However, the neutron yield can temporarily decrease to 0 percent, or to any fraction of full output, due to electrical, beam focusing, or other temporary issues in the NDAS. Beam interruptions are considered normal behavior of accelerator technology, and the NDAS control system includes automatic recovery functions. TRPS limits the duration that the NDAS control system can attempt recovery before it is required to ramp up to full source strength using a SHINE Medical Technologies 4a2.3-4 Rev. 3

Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems Process Integrated Control System 7.3 PROCESS INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM The SHINE facility is provided with nonsafety-related control systems necessary to perform normal operational activities within the facility. The process integrated control system (PICS) is a nonsafety-related digital control system that performs various functions throughout the SHINE facility. The PICS is the primary interface for operators to perform tasks in both the irradiation facility (IF) and the radioisotope production facility (RPF). PICS functions include signal conditioning, system controls, interlocks, and monitoring of the process variables and system status.

Vendor-provided nonsafety-related control systems, which interface and communicate with the PICS, are also present within the SHINE facility and are used to monitor and control specific facility systems.

The main control board and operator workstations in the facility control room are also part of the PICS and are described in Section 7.6.

7.3.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The PICS is a collection of instrumentation and control equipment located throughout the facility to support monitoring, indication, and control of various systems. A portion of the PICS supports the main control board and operator workstations in the facility control room by receiving operator commands and collecting and transmitting facility information to the operators, as described in Section 7.6. An architecture of the PICS is provided in Figure 7.3-1.

The following vendor-provided nonsafety-related control systems are also provided for the SHINE facility:

  • The building automation system is a digital control system capable of integrating multiple building functions, including equipment supervision and control, alarm management, energy management, and trend data collection. It provides control for the facility heating water system (FHWS), the facility chilled water system (FCHS), the process chilled water system (PCHS), the radioisotope process facility cooling system (RPCS), facility ventilation zone 4 (FVZ4) air handling, and radiological ventilation zone 1, 2, and 3 (RVZ1/2/3) air handling. The building automation system receives commands from the PICS to start and stop select control sequences and provides information to the PICS for monitoring.
  • The supercell contains a local control system and human system interface equipment for controlling hot cell functions including interior lighting, interior temperature and pressure, and operation of the doors, ports, and waste export system. The supercell control system provides information to PICS for monitoring only.
  • The radioactive liquid waste immobilization (RLWI) system contains a local control system and human system interface equipment for controlling RLWI equipment functions including operation of equipment used to handle solidified waste. The RLWI control system provides information to PICS for monitoring only.
  • The neutron driver assembly system (NDAS) control system is used to monitor and make adjustments to any of the eight neutron drivers in the eight irradiation unit (IU) cells. Two NDAS control stations are provided in the facility control room as described in Subsection 7.6.1.2, and a portable local station is provided as described in Subsection 7.6.1.6. The NDAS control system is further described in Subsection 4a2.3.4.

SHINE Medical Technologies 7.3-1 Rev. 5

Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems Process Integrated Control System The NDAS control system receives permissive signals from the PICS to allow or disable use of the system and provides information to PICS for monitoring.

  • The standby generator system (SGS) generator, facility demineralized water system (FDWS) reverse osmosis (RO) unit, facility nitrogen handling system (FNHS) unit, FHWS boilers, and FCHS and PCHS chillers are each provided with integral controllers that interface with the PICS (for the SGS generator, FDWS RO unit, and FNHS unit) or the building automation system (for boilers and chillers).

A description of the PICS process monitoring functions, control functions, interlocks, alarms, and displays is provided for each facility system where the PICS provides these functions. If applicable, the vendor-provided nonsafety-related controls are also described for each facility system. In addition to the variables described below, PICS monitors valve or damper position feedback as needed to perform control functions or implement interlocks and permissives.

7.3.1.1 Irradiation Unit Systems The PICS is used to monitor parameters and perform manual and automatic actions during each of the operational modes of a subcritical assembly system (SCAS):

Mode 0 - Solution Removed: No target solution in the SCAS Mode 1 - Startup: Filling the target solution vessel (TSV)

Mode 2 - Irradiation: Operating mode (neutron driver active)

Mode 3 - Post-Irradiation: TSV dump valves open Mode 4 - Transfer to the RPF: Dump tank drain valve opens to permit solution transfer The systems associated with SCAS modes of operation include the SCAS itself, the NDAS, the TSV off-gas system (TOGS), the primary closed loop cooling system (PCLS), the light water pool system (LWPS), and the neutron flux detection system (NFDS).

Mode 0 - Solution Removed In Mode 0, the PICS provides the capability to control equipment needed to transition an IU into Mode 1, including closing the TSV fill valves and dump valves and starting the TOGS blowers as needed verifying system parameters to meet mode transition criteria. The PICS also provides monitoring and controls of the common tritium purification system (TPS), which is integrated with the modes of operation for each IU cell.

Mode 1 - Startup Mode After the operator transitions the IU to Mode 1 using the operating mode input to the TSV reactivity protection system (TRPS), the PICS is used to open the TSV fill valves and operate the vacuum transfer system (VTS) to add target solution to the TSV from the associated target solution hold tank.

The TSV is filled incrementally. The TSV fill increment is determined by 1/M calculations. The operator may use the PICS as a check to calculate the next required fill volume based on the 1/M calculation. The PICS also provides defense-in-depth time limits and interlocks to control the maximum volumetric step addition during the 1/M fill process to prevent challenging the TRPS Fill Stop actuation function described in Section 7.4.

SHINE Medical Technologies 7.3-2 Rev. 5

Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems Process Integrated Control System Mode 2 - Irradiation When the TSV fill has been completed, PICS is used to close the TSV fill valves to meet Mode 2 transition criteria. The PICS provides an interlock with the source range channel of the NFDS to prevent TSV irradiation without sufficient neutron counts on the detectors and, when that permissive is met, PICS is used to close the neutron driver breakers to enable the target solution in the TSV to be irradiated. The PICS interfaces with the NDAS control system to start or stop the driver and is used to control the introduction of tritium into the NDAS target from the tritium purification system (TPS).

During irradiation, PICS is used to monitor neutron flux levels, concentrations of radiolytic gases generated, NDAS performance parameters, and other parameters associated with the irradiation process.

Mode 3 - Post-Irradiation The neutron driver breakers are opened by the PICS, ending the irradiation period and satisfying the mode transition criteria, allowing the operator to transition from Mode 2 to Mode 3. When transitioning from Mode 2 to Mode 3 during normal operations, the PICS provides the mode transition signal from the TRPS to automatically open the TSV dump valves to drain the target solution to the dump tank. While in Mode 3, the PICS is used to monitor TOGS and SCAS operational parameters while the solution is held for decay.

Mode 4 - Transfer to RPF After the operator transitions the IU to Mode 4, the PICS is used to open the TSV dump tank drain isolation valve allowing the target solution to be vacuum lifted out of the IU cell, pumped through an extraction column, and drained to a target solution hold tank. The PICS is used to select the flow path for the transfer to the desired extraction cell and to operate the VTS which accomplishes the lift.

When the solution has been removed from the dump tank, the operator uses PICS to verifyies that low-high TSV dump tank level is inactive, meeting the Mode 4 to Mode 0 transition criteria.

7.3.1.1.1 Subcritical Assembly System The SCAS maintains fissile material in a subcritical, but highly multiplying configuration during the irradiation process to produce molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) and other fission products. The SCAS is described in Section 4a2.2.

Monitoring and Alarms The PICS is used to monitor and provide alarms for TSV level, TSV temperature, and TSV headspace pressure for each IU. TSV dump tank level is monitored using two level switches (low-high and high-high), which are provided to PICS via TRPS (Subsections 7.4.4.1.8 and 7.4.4.1.9).

PICS also provides alarms for automatic or manual actuation of the TRPS safety functions described in Subsection 7.4.3.1 and the TRPS Fill Stop described in Subsection 7.4.4.1.18.

SHINE Medical Technologies 7.3-3 Rev. 5

Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems Process Integrated Control System

  • Allow transition from Mode 3 to Mode 4 only when TSV level is below an allowable level indicating solution has been drained, and the TSV dump tank low-high level signal is present indicating solution is in the TSV dump tank.
  • Allow transition from Mode 4 to Mode 0 only when TSV level is below an allowable level indicating solution has been drained, the TSV dump tank low-high level signal is clear indicating solution has been removed from the TSV dump tank, and the TSV fill valves are closed.

Indication to the operator is provided on the PICS operator workstation displays when an interlock or permissive is bypassed.

7.3.1.1.2 Target Solution Vessel Off-Gas System The TOGS is used to manage radiolysis and fission product gases generated in the TSV during irradiation operation and present in the TSV dump tank during target solution cooldown to maintain concentrations within safe limits. The TOGS is described in Section 4a2.8.

Monitoring and Alarms The PICS receives input from the TRPS and provides alarms for TOGS oxygen concentration (Subsection 7.4.4.1.10), mainstream flow for both train A and B (Subsection 7.4.4.1.11),

condenser demister outlet temperatures for both train A and B (Subsection 7.4.4.1.13), and dump tank flow for train A (Subsection 7.4.4.1.12).

The PICS directly monitors and provides alarms for TOGS hydrogen concentration, gas injection flowrate, TOGS blower outlet and sidestream pressures, instrument demister condensate high level switch and condenser demister outlet, sweep gas supply, recombiner inlet, recombiner outlet, zeolite bed inlet, and zeolite bed outlet temperatures.

Control Functions The operator is able to use the PICS to manually open and close individual valves and manually start or stop individual components unless operation is prevented by interlocks, permissives, or active sequences. Components that are capable of being actuated by TRPS are controlled by PICS as described in Subsection 7.3.1.3.11.

The following functions are performed while TOGS is running (Mode 1, 2, 3, or 4):

PICS automatically controls mainstream flow for each TOGS train based on the median value of the three mainstream flow inputs received from TRPS by adjusting the variable speed motor of the associated train TOGS blower.

PICS automatically controls the temperature of the recombiners (trains A and B) and the zeolite bed (train A) by energizing or deenergizing the associated heater based on the inlet and outlet temperature of each component.

PICS automatically opens the TOGS oxygen inlet valve when oxygen concentration is low, based on the median value of the three TOGS oxygen concentration inputs received from TRPS.

When manually initiated by the operator, PICS executes a programmed sequence to open the SHINE Medical Technologies 7.3-5 Rev. 5

Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems Process Integrated Control System TOGS oxygen inlet valve to maintain appropriate oxygen flowrate for a predetermined amount of time.

If TSV headspace pressure (Subsection 7.3.1.1.1) increases above the allowable setpoint, PICS opens the TOGS vacuum tank inlet valve. If TSV headspace pressure is too high while TOGS oxygen concentration is low, PICS closes the TOGS oxygen inlet valve prior to opening the TOGS vacuum tank inlet valve. If TSV headspace pressure is too low, PICS opens the TOGS nitrogen inlet valve.

PICS automatically controls the position of the TOGS gas inlet flow control valve to maintain a constant gas injection flowrate when either the TOGS oxygen or nitrogen inlet valve is open.

The following functions are performed while TOGS is not running (Mode 0):

When manually initiated by the operator, the PICS executes a programmed sequence to evacuate the TOGS vacuum tank by opening and closing the TOGS vacuum tank inlet valve, opening and closing the TOGS vacuum tank outlet valve, and opening and closing the vacuum supply valves in a specific order.

When manually initiated by the operator, the PICS executes a programmed sequence to start the TOGS by ensuring TOGS valves are in their required states, and enabling the TOGS pressure control loops, and starting t. The TOGS blowers are locally started manually by the operator, separate from the PICS controls. This sequence places the TOGS in a Running state.

Interlocks and Permissives PICS provides interlocks and permissives to:

  • Prevent the TOGS vacuum tank inlet valve and TOGS vacuum tank outlet valve from being open simultaneously.
  • Prevent the TOGS oxygen inlet valve and TOGS nitrogen inlet valve from being open simultaneously.
  • Prevent the TOGS vacuum tank inlet valve from being open when either the TOGS oxygen inlet valve or the TOGS nitrogen inlet valve is open.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 0 to Mode 1 only when TOGS is in a Running state.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 1 to Mode 2 only when TOGS is in a Running state.
  • Allow transition from a Running state to idle only when associated IU cell is in Mode 0.

Indication to the operator is provided on the PICS operator workstation displays when an interlock or permissive is bypassed.

7.3.1.1.3 Primary Closed Loop Cooling System The PCLS provides forced convection water cooling to the TSV and, neutron multiplier, SCAS, and the light water pool during irradiation of the target solution and immediately prior to transferring target solution from the TSV to the TSV dump tank. The PCLS is described in Section 5a2.2.

SHINE Medical Technologies 7.3-6 Rev. 5

Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems Process Integrated Control System Monitoring and Alarms The PICS receives input from the TRPS and provides alarms for PCLS cooling water flow (Subsection 7.4.4.1.7) and PCLS cooling water supply temperature (Subsections 7.4.2.1.5 and 7.4.2.1.6).

The PICS receives direct input and provides alarms for PCLS pressure, PCLS conductivity, PCLS expansion tank level, PCLS cleanup side stream flow, PCLS cooling water temperature (measured separately from safety-related PCLS cooling water supply temperature), and various other system parameters.

PCLS instrumentation is further described in Subsections 5a2.2.3 and 5a2.5.2.

Control Functions The operator is able to use the PICS to manually open and close individual valves and manually start or stop individual components unless operation is prevented by interlocks, permissives, or active sequences. Components that are capable of being actuated by TRPS are controlled by PICS as described in Subsection 7.3.1.3.11.

PICS automatically controls the position of the RPCS outlet control valve from the PCLS heat exchanger to maintain the nonsafety-related PCLS cooling water supply temperature indication within an acceptable band.

When manually initiated by the operator, the PICS executes a programmed sequence to start or stop the PCLS by ensuring PCLS valves are in their required states, enabling or disabling the PCLS temperature control loop, and allowing the operator to start or stop the PCLS pump motors. Starting at least one PCLS pump places PCLS in a Running state.

Interlocks and Permissives PICS provides interlocks and permissives to:

  • Prevent the PCLS pumps from starting if the PCLS supply isolation valve or either PCLS return isolation valve is closed.
  • Prevent the PCLS pumps from starting if PCLS expansion tank level is low.
  • Prevent the PCLS pumps from starting if PCLS suction pressure is low.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 0 to Mode 1 only when PCLS is in a Running state.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 1 to Mode 2 only when PCLS is in a Running state.

Indication to the operator is provided on the PICS operator workstation displays when an interlock or permissive is bypassed.

7.3.1.1.4 Light Water Pool System The light water pool system (LWPS) provides neutron moderation and reflection to reduce neutron leakage, radiation shielding, and decay heat removal from target solution following irradiation. The LWPS is described in Subsection 4a2.4.2.

SHINE Medical Technologies 7.3-7 Rev. 5

Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems Process Integrated Control System Monitoring and Alarms The PICS receives input and provides alarms for LWPS pool level and LWPS pool temperature for each IU.

Control Functions None Interlocks None 7.3.1.1.5 Neutron Driver Assembly System The NDAS is the source of neutrons used to generate the neutron fluxes required to create medical isotopes in the TSV. The NDAS produces neutrons by colliding a deuterium (D) ion beam with tritium (T) gas. The NDAS is directly controlled by a vendor-provided nonsafety-related control system. The NDAS is described in Section 4a2.3.

Monitoring and Alarms The NDAS is directly monitored by a vendor-provided nonsafety-related control system. The NDAS control system monitors deuterium-tritium (DT) neutron yield, beam current, target pressure, leakage indications, various system voltages, currents and temperatures, and feedback from vacuum pumps and other system components.

The NDAS control system provides a subset of these monitored parameters and the status of the system (System Off, Vacuum, Prepared, Standby, Decontamination, or Beam On) to the PICS for display on the PICS workstations and generation of alarms.

Control Functions The NDAS control system allows the operator to manually adjust (e.g., focus or direct) the deuterium beam by changing voltages and currents applied to various solenoid magnets. The NDAS control system also allows the operator to control the ion source by adjusting microwave power, current, and voltage to manually start and stop various system auxiliaries (e.g., vacuum pumps, blowers, cooling pumps), and to open and close NDAS system valves.

The local NDAS control station is only used for maintenance and commissioning activities for an NDAS unit installed in an IU, or for an NDAS unit located in the NDAS service cell.

The operator uses PICS to provide signals to manually open or close the neutron driver HVPS breakers to meet TRPS mode transition criteria and allow the beam to be energized. The operator is able to use the PICS to manually open and close individual valves that are capable of being actuated by TRPS as described in Subsection 7.3.1.3.11.

SHINE Medical Technologies 7.3-8 Rev. 5

Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems Process Integrated Control System Interlocks and Permissives The PICS provides permissive signals to the NDAS control system to:

  • Allow the use of thecontrol of a specific NDAS from a control room NDAS control station, specific to each NDAS unit.
  • Allow the control room NDAS control station to transition a specific NDAS unit to be in Beam On statusmode.
  • Allow the use of thecontrol of a specific NDAS from a local NDAS control station.
  • Allow the control room to send the Beam On permissive only if TPS has completed decontamination of the target chamber.
  • Prevent the transition of an NDAS unit to Beam On when the NFDS source range count rate is below an allowable value.

Removal of the PICS permissive signal for Beam On operation causes the beam to deenergize.

The PICS additionally provides interlocks and permissives to:

  • Prevent the transition of an NDAS unit to Beam On when the NFDS source range count rate is below an allowable value.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 0 to Mode 1 only when the NDAS is not in Beam On.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 1 to Mode 2 only when the NDAS is not in StandbyBeam On.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 2 to Mode 3 only when the NDAS is not in Beam On.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 3 to Mode 4 only when the NDAS is not in Beam On.
  • Allow the transition from Mode 4 to Mode 0 only when the NDAS is not in Beam On.

Indication to the operator is provided on the PICS operator workstation displays when an interlock or permissive is bypassed.

7.3.1.1.6 Neutron Flux Detection System The NFDS monitors the neutron flux in the IU during TSV fill and irradiationall modes of operation. The NFDS is described in Section 7.8.

Monitoring and Alarms The PICS receives input from the TRPS for monitoring and provides alarms for source range neutron flux (Subsection 7.4.4.1.1), wide range neutron flux (Subsection 7.4.4.1.4), and power range neutron flux (Subsections 7.4.2.1.2 and 7.4.4.1.3), as described in Subsection 7.8.3.9.

The PICS indirectly receives discrete signals from the NFDS for source range missing, wide range missing, and power range missing faults for the generation of alarms (Subsection 7.8.3.10).

Indication to the operator is provided on the PICS operator workstation displays when an interlock or permissive is bypassed.

7.3.1.2.5 Vacuum Transfer System Target solution transfer activities occur throughout the main production facility in order to remove irradiated solution from the TSV dump tank, extract isotopes, and return target solution to an IU.

These activities are accomplished by the VTS and target solution staging system (TSSS). The VTS consists of vacuum pumps and a vacuum buffer tank located in a hot cell of the supercell (co-located with the PVVS in the PVVS area) and lift tanks, as described in Subsection 9b.2.5.

Monitoring and Alarms The PICS receives input from the ESFAS and provides alarms for the VTS vacuum header liquid detection switches (Subsection 7.5.4.1.8).

The PICS directly monitors and provides alarms for vacuum system pressure, individual VTS lift tank level switches, VTS vacuum buffer tank level switches, target solution sample line level switches, and status feedback information from the VTS vacuum pumps.

The PICS also provides alarms for automatic or manual VTS Safety Actuation described in Subsection 7.5.3.1.

Control Functions The operator is able to use the PICS to manually open and close individual valves and manually start or stop individual components unless operation is prevented by interlocks, permissives, or active sequences. Components that are capable of being actuated by TRPS or ESFAS are controlled by PICS as described in Subsection 7.3.1.3.11.

9a2.1.2 NON-RADIOLOGICAL AREA VENTILATION SYSTEM The non-radiological area ventilation system is the facility ventilation zone 4 (FVZ4) system.

Ventilation zone 4 consists of areas which are located within the main production facility, but outside of the RCA. The FVZ4 system is completely independent of the RV systems described in Subsection 9a2.1.1. The FVZ4 system supply AHUs draw at least 10 percent outside air to make up for air exhausted and exfiltrated. The outside air is mixed with recirculated air and conditioned through the AHUs before being supplied to FVZ4 areas. FVZ4 exhaust streams exhaust directly SHINE Medical Technologies 9a2.1-6 Rev. 6

Chapter 9 - Auxiliary Systems Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Systems A flow diagram of the return air associated with the FVZ4s subsystem is provided in Figure 9a2.1-10. A diagram of the FVZ4s subsystem AHUs is provided in Figure 9a2.1-11.

FVZ4 Exhaust Subsystem (FVZ4e)

FVZ4e serves the following locations of the non-RCA area of the facility:

  • Janitor closets
  • Chemical storage
  • Restrooms
  • Battery rooms
  • Control room The FVZ4e subsystem exhausts the battery rooms and UPS rooms within ventilation zone 4 to maintain the hydrogen concentration below 2 percent and the temperature under 120°F. Upon a loss of power, the battery rooms will be exhausted by dedicated fans powered by the standby generator system (SGS).

Dampers are provided to isolate the FVZ4 exhaust air subsystem to each battery room and each UPS room, independently, on an initiation signal from each locations fire suppression system.

The distribution of the FVZ4e subsystem is provided in Figure 9a2.1-12.

FVZ4 Room Cooling Recirculation Subsystem (FVZ4r)

The FVZ4r subsystem recirculates and cools air within the electrical/telephone rooms. The system is made up of two split systems that cool the server space. The FVZ4r subsystem provides equipment status to the PICS.

9a2.1.2.4 Radiation Protection and Criticality Safety There are no radiation contamination hazards or criticality safety hazards associated with the FVZ4 system.

9a2.1.2.5 Instrumentation and Control The supply air subsystem HVAC controls operate through the PICSbuilding automation system.

The FVZ4 system is designed such that the PICSbuilding automation system monitors and controls the non-RCA recirculation air subsystem ventilation equipment, flow rates, pressures, and temperatures. Instrumentation monitors the ventilation systems for off-normal conditions and signal alarms as required.

The PICSbuilding automation system performs the following functions relative to FVZ4:

  • starts, shuts down, and operates FVZ4 in normal operating modes;
  • monitors the return and supply temperature from the AHUs; and
  • monitors the pressure differential across the filters.

Chapter 9 - Auxiliary Systems Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Systems water flow rates in response to signals sent to the load instrumentation. A flow control valve is maintained on the system bypass line and is controlled by input signals from FCHS controller inputs made by chiller supply, RVZ2s, and FVZ4 modulating flow control valves.

Each pumps VFD status is monitored by local chiller equipment for fault status and motor amps.

When the FCHS controller registers that a pump is not running, and a stop command has not been issued from the control panel, an alarm is generated at the control panel and the standby pump is automatically started.

Local chiller equipment monitors differential pressures across each chiller and the chillers running status. Upon communication of a fault alarm, an FCHS controller isolates that chillers modulating flow control valve and issues a start command to the back-up chiller. System pumps respond accordingly to the loading of the chillers via a local controller. Chiller fault alarms on multiple chillers initiates an automatic shutdown of the system through an FCHS controller.

The system maintains alarms monitored by PICSthe building automation system and displays them at operator workstations for system volumes out of rangein the control room.

9a2.1.3.4 Radiation Protection There are no radiation contamination hazards associated with the FCHS.

9a2.1.3.5 Instrumentation and Controls Instrumentation monitors the system for off-normal conditions and signal alarms as required.

FCHS controls are nonsafety-related.

The FCHS provides the necessary output signal to the PICS for the monitoring of chilled water temperatures, pressures, and flow rates.
