1 FUNCTION OF THE SYSTEMS
The main task of the Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB* is to receive and store
reactor coolant which appears during start-up of the plant, load changes (including
load-follow operation), burn-up compensation or which was collected in the *KTA* (pri-
mary effluents).
Also the Coolant Storage and Supply System has to provide demineralized water for
operational needs (e.g. for dilution of the reactor coolant due to reactivity change,
make-up of reactor coolant). The system permanently provides sufficient storage ca-
pacity to accept all coolant discharges resulting from operations mentioned in the fol-
lowing chapters (including undelayed return to cold shutdown from any normal operat-
ing conditions).
The Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB* has no specific safety functions.
1.1 Operational Function
Fig. 1.1, Fig. 1.2

The system *KBB* performs the following functions during normal operation:
• Receiving and storage of reactor coolant from reactor coolant circuits, which is
discharged in the course of operation of the plant as a result of start-up transients,
burn-up compensation, load changes (including daily load-follow operation) and
shutdown transients (reactor hot shutdown and reactor cold shutdown)
• Receiving and storage of reactor coolant collected by the Vent and Drain System
(recyclable primary drains) KTA40
• Receiving and storage of reactor coolant collected by the Vent and Drain System
(safety valve recovery) KTA41

1-1
• Storage and supply of demineralized water for reactor coolant make-up and reac-
tor coolant exchange
The storage method in the Coolant Storage and Supply System is based on an inte-
grated storage concept. This concept combines the above mentioned main tasks (in-
terim storage of the reactor coolant before processing in the treatment system and
storage of demineralized water) in a set of 6 identical tanks which can contain alterna-
tively either borated or demineralized water.
Besides that the system has to be capable to provide demineralized water for a 2-day
autonomy for load-follow operations in case of unavailability of the coolant treatment
system *KBF*.
1.2 Safety Classified Function

This system is not required to operate during or after accidents, but the system opera-
tion is important for undisturbed plant operation (the Coolant Storage and Supply Sys-
tem *KBB* belongs to the safety class SC3).
The safety functions related with confinement of radioactive substances of the *KBB*
system is contribution to limit releases to the environment.

1-2
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM
2.1 System
Fig. 2.1, 2.2

The Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB* mainly consists of six identical coolant
storage tanks KBB11 - 16 BB001, a borated water line (KBB10 BR001, DN100) and a
demineralized water line (KBB10 BR002, DN150).
During normal operation conditions one coolant storage tank is always connected to the
borated water line, and simultaneously another coolant storage tank is always con-
nected to the demineralized water line. Hence both water qualities can be stored and
delivered at the same time.
2.1.1 Storage and Supply of Reactor Coolant

Borated water is accepted in the coolant storage tanks via the borated water line
KBB10 BR001 from the systems *KBA* (via three-way valve KBA20 AA104) and KTA40
(via valve KBB10 AA004). The borated water line also serves for routing the coolant
from the coolant storage tanks to the treatment plant *KBF* (via valves KBF11-12
AA001).
2.1.2 Storage and Supply of Demineralized Water
Demineralized water coming from the coolant treatment system *KBF* is led to the
coolant storage tanks (via the demineralized water line) via pipe KBB10 BR020. The
demineralized water, which has to be injected into the *KBA* resp. primary circuit for
burn-up compensation or make-up purposes for example, is fed to the *KBC* by the
demineralized water line (via line KBB10 BR008 and KBB10 BR003, each line DN125)
towards the suction line of the demineralized water pumps KBC31-32 AP001.

2-1
2.2 Main Components
2.2.1 Tanks
Fig. 2.3
Coolant Storage Tanks KBB11-16 BB001
The coolant storage tanks are 6 identical pressure vessels made of austenitic steel.
They consist of a vertical cylindrical shell with torospherical heads. The tanks have a
diameter of approx. 4000 mm and a height of approx. 11600 mm, their useful volume is
approx. 115 m³.
The tanks are protected against overpressure by safety valves (KBB11-16 AA191) at
the top of the tanks connected to the KTA41 system.

The reactor coolant effluents fed into the coolant storage tanks can contain hydrogen
and fission gases for example. To avoid high oxygen or hydrogen content and fission
gas concentration the storage tank atmosphere is permanently swept by the Gaseous
Waste Processing System *KPL*. The normal operation pressure of the *KBB* tanks is
approximately -0.1 bar (0.9 bar abs).
At the vessel head are the in- and outlet connections for flushing of the tank atmos-
phere with nitrogen from the Gaseous Waste Processing System *KPL* and the con-
nections for level measurement.
Furthermore the discharge (blowdown) from the safety valve discharge systems KTA41
is collected in the two tanks KBB15 BB001 and KBB16 BB001.
Located in the center of every vessel head is one blind flange with DN 200 installed for
connection of the decontamination system *FKE*. For inspection of the tanks there are
2 man holes, one at the top and one at the side.

2-2
At the bottom of every tank there is a common conjunction line DN 150 (KBB11-16
BR004), which is the connection to the borated water line or demineralized water line.
Besides the common inlet/outlet nozzle at the tank bottom are the connections for level
measurements and the connection for sampling at the bottom of the coolant storage
tanks (one sampling line per tank).
2.2.2 Pipes
All pipes of the Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB* exposed to reactor coolant
are made of austenitic stainless steel.
In order to prevent reactor coolant leakage, all piping connections and joints are welded
except where flanged connections are required to facilitate equipment removal for in-
spection, maintenance or pressure testing (two man holes, decontamination connection

at the top of the tanks).
2.2.3 Valves
Valves in low temperature/pressure parts of the system are in general diaphragm

valves. Instrumentation valves serve for isolation of the measurement instruments, if
necessary.

2-3
Safety valves are installed in the following locations:
Safety valves KBB11-16 AA191
These safety valves are installed in order to protect the tanks KBB11-16 BB001 against
overpressure.
Safety valve KBB10 AA191
This safety valve limits the pressure on the suction side of demineralized water recircu-
lation pump.

3 SYSTEM DESIGN
3.1 General Design Basis
The Coolant Storage and Supply System is designed for the normal operating tran-
sients of the plant. Base-load operation, daily load-follow operation, as well as opera-
tional transients are considered.
The overall storage capacity of the *KBB* system is designed with consideration to the
maximum amount of demineralized water, which is required for undelayed return to full
power from Xenon-free cold shutdown state in end of cycle conditions (EOC) at a boron
concentration of about 100 ppm with natural boron.
The coolant discharged during start-up of the plant (expansion water during heating-up
procedure, coolant exchange for deboration) has to be accumulated in the coolant stor-
age tanks.
Besides that the system has to be capable to provide for a 2-day autonomy for load-
follow operations in case of unavailability of the coolant treatment system.
Base-load Operation
During base-load operation of the plant the volume of coolant and of demineralized wa-
ter which has to be handled is caused by the burn-up compensation over the whole cy-
cle length. The minimal boron concentration which is considered is about 5 ppm.
Load-follow Operation
For load follow requirements a distinction is made between standard load-follow opera-
tion (range 100% PN - 60% PN) and unusual load follow operation (range 60% PN -
25% PN).

3-1
For the design of the coolant storage and supply system, only standard load-follow op-
eration is considered.
Operational Transients
The following operational transients are considered for the system design:
• short hot shutdown approx. 6-8 hours (restart at xenon maximum)
• long hot shutdown approx. 90 hours (xenon-free restart)
• cold shutdown (xenon-free restart)
• refueling shutdown (including pressure test prior to restart of the plant)

The Coolant Storage and Supply System is designed with the permanent capability for
undelayed return to cold shutdown from any normal operating condition. The following
provisions are made regarding the storage capacity:
• permanent water reserve for compensation of coolant contraction
• permanent storage capability to accept coolant discharges needed for boration.
The determining parameter for the design of the coolant Storage and Supply system is
the storage volume of the system (volume of demineralized water stored in the tanks as
well as free volume for storage of reactor coolant).

3-2
3.2 Component Design Basis
3.2.1 Coolant Storage Tanks
Fig. 3.1
The overall storage capacity of the *KBB* system is governed by the amount of demin-
eralized water that is required for undelayed return to full power from Xenon-free cold
shutdown state in end-of-cycle conditions (boron concentration of about 100 ppm with
natural boron).
Furthermore, the Coolant Storage and Supply System must also be able to accept the
surplus (expansion) water (approx. 100 m³ - about accordingly the volume of one tank)
discharged during start-up. This requirement governs the usable capacity of one tank.
For this start-up transient, full operability of the Coolant Treatment System *KBF* is as-
sumed.
In addition, the system storage capacity is designed to provide a 2-day autonomy dur-
ing load-follow operation in case of unavailability of the treatment plant.
Furthermore it has to be checked that undelayed restart from hot shutdown to full power
is possible all over the cycle length. In that case, concerning the rapidity of the tran-
sient, no credit is taken from the treatment plant. Restrictions are accepted only for
shutdowns < 8 h in EOC conditions.
The resulting storage capacity is divided in 6 tanks, 115 m³ useful volume each.
Flushing of the *KBB* tank atmosphere by *KPL* ensures that the hydrogen concentra-
tion in the tanks (which may get released into the tank with the hydrogenated reactor
coolant) is kept well below the explosion limit. The gaseous atmosphere is kept at
subatmospheric condition which ensures that in case of leaks the leakage flow is routed
into the system.

3-3
Since the letdown temperature control of the CVCS (*KBA*) ensures a letdown tem-
perature of approx. 50 °C the *KBB* system is not provided with thermal insulation.
The tanks and respectively the suction line are designed and installed, so that the tanks
can be drained completely by pumping. For in-service inspection the tanks are easily
isolatable during operation. Provisions for flushing with fresh nitrogen and air are fore-
seen.

(KBB11 - 16 AA003 / A004) on the associated coolant storage tank are closed and wa-
ter is being injected into the connected coolant storage tank.

The blowdown rate is determined from the maximum possible flow rate through valve
KBF10 AA002 and flow restrictors KBF10 BP001 back to the demineralized water line
of the Coolant Storage and Supply System taking into account a maximum pressure at
the *KBB* inlet (downstream the *KBA* interface KBA20 AA104) of 12 bars. This flow
rate is governed by the pressure losses along the discharge path of the evaporator feed
pumps (KBF11-12 AP001).
The safety valve will respond only if none of the coolant storage tanks is connected to
the demineralized water line as a result of valve misalignment during coolant transfer.

3.3 Arrangement of the System

Fig. 3.3
The coolant storage tanks are installed in the following rooms in the *UKA* building at
an elevation of approx. -5,90 m:
• UKA03 001 - UKA13 001: KBB11-12 BB001
• UKA03 020 - UKA13 020: KBB13-16 BB001
The main valves connected to the vessel bottoms are installed in the rooms below the
tank (level -9.60 m).
Valves connected to the vessel head are located in the rooms above the tanks (level
+7.40 m).

3-6
To ensure leak tightness of the system the following constructional provisions are
taken:
• Piping and equipment connections are in principle all welded. Bolted flanges are
provided only where removal is required for inspection, maintenance or repair.
• Valves in low pressure/temperature parts of the system are in general diaphragm

valves.
3.3.1 Protection against Internal (External) Hazards
There are no particular design provisions for the system against internal hazards. The
arrangement of the coolant storage tanks assures that flooding of any safety classified
building or equipment due to leaks in these tanks can not occur.
To avoid internal and external hazards hazards due to leaks in the fluid phase the cool-
ant storage tanks are installed in a compartment with a leak retention capability equiva-
lent to the complete drainage of one tank.
Systems, which are needed to reach safe shutdown, are not located in the nuclear aux-
iliary building and in the waste building. Therefore no requirements regarding protection
against internal or external hazards are relevant for systems installed in these build-
ings like the *KBB* system (which is installed in the nuclear auxiliary building). However
with respect to failure of equipment inside nuclear auxiliary building and waste building
it is ensured that inadmissible radiological releases from these buildings as well as con-
sequential failure in the neighboring buildings (i.e. fuel building, safeguard building 4)
housing systems to reach safe shutdown are avoided.

3-7
3.4 Associated Systems
Fig. 3.4
The Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB* is primary connected to the Chemical
and Volume Control System *KBA*, to the Reactor Boron and Water Make-up System
*KBC*, to the Coolant Treatment System *KBF* and to the Vent and Drain System
*KTA*. The tank atmosphere is permanently swept by *KPL*. Excess coolant from the
primary circuit is discharged via the *KBA* system to the *KBB* system. Also primary
coolant originating from *KTA* is routed to *KBB*. The coolant stored in *KBB* is routed
to *KBF* for treatment.
For replenishment of coolant or RCS dilution demineralized water has to be fed by the
Reactor Boron and Water Make-up System *KBC* via System *KBA* into the primary
circuit. For these purposes the required demineralized water will be stored in the *KBB*
tanks (the boric acid needed for preparation of replenishment coolant is taken from the
*KBC* tanks).
Plant systems serving or served by the Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB* are:
*FKE* - Decontamination System for Heat Exchangers, Tanks and Vessels
Decontamination of the tanks KBB11-16 BB001 can be performed via dedicated inlet
nozzles KBB11-16 BR403 (blind flanged during normal *KBB* operation) at the vessel
head. The decontamination fluid is discharged at the vessel bottom via the connections
KBB11-16 AA402. This procedure is only necessary in case of maintenance and repair.
*GHC* - Demineralized Water Distribution System
This system provides the demineralized water for the first filling of the tanks KBB11-
14 BB001 for start-up operation. During normal operation at a later time, supply of
demineralized water is done by means of the degasifier unit of the Coolant Treatment
System *KBF*. The *GHC* system is connected to the *KBB* system via valve
KBB10 AA002.

3-8
*KBA* - Chemical and Volume Control System
During normal operation the borated water line is ready to accept coolant from the
Chemical and Volume Control System *KBA* via three-way valve KBA20 AA104 and
valve KBB10 A001.
*KBC* - Reactor Boron and Water Make-up System
The pumps KBC31-32 AP001 suck the demineralized water from the coolant storage
tanks (only one is permanently connected) via the demineralized water line and feed
from there into the Chemical and Volume Control System *KBA*.
Furthermore the occasionally feed line for the level instruments KBB11-16 CL001/002
branches off from downstream the pumps KBC31-32 AP001 (via valves
KBB10 AA304/306).
*KBF* - Coolant Treatment System
The coolant stored in the coolant storage tank connected to the borated water line is
delivered to the Coolant Treatment System *KBF*. After separation of the coolant in the
Coolant Treatment System (into demineralized water and boric acid) the demineralized
water line of the *KBB* is used to accept recycled demineralized water from the Coolant
Treatment System via pipe KBB10 BR020. The demineralized water is stored in the
tank which is connected to the demineralized water line (tanks KBB11 – 16 BB001;
however KBB16 BB001 is normally dedicated for storage of borated water).
Moreover the minimum flow of the evaporator feed pumps KBF11 - 12 AP001 is routed
back to the borated water line KBB10 BR001 via pipes KBB10 BR011/012.
The medium transfer line KBB10 BR010 connects the borated water line KBB10 BR001
with the demineralized water line KBB10 BR002 via the evaporator feed pumps KBF11-
12 AP001.

3-9
*KPL* - Gaseous Waste Processing System
In order to discharge gaseous releases of the reactor coolant and to limit the concentra-
tion of hydrogen and radioactive noble gases the atmosphere of the coolant storage
tanks is permanently swept with nitrogen from the system *KPL*. Due to the variations
of the contents of the coolant’s respective levels in the coolant storage tanks, a connec-
tion to the system *KPL* is required in order to avoid changes of the atmosphere-
pressure in the tanks. System *KPL* ensures a small vacuum in the *KBB* tanks.
The tank atmospheres are swept in the sequence KBB11 BB001, KBB12 BB001,
KBB13 BB001, KBB14 BB001, KBB15 BB001, KBB16 BB001 via the interfacing valves
KBB11-16 AA003 (flushing gas inlet) and KBB11-16 AA004 (flushing gas outlet).
KTA40 - Nuclear Island Vent/Drain System – primary effluents inside *UKA* (recyclable
primary drains)
During normal operation the borated water line is ready to accept reactor coolant efflu-
ents from the vent and drain system KTA40.
KTA41 - Nuclear Island Vent/Drain System – primary effluents inside *UKA* (safety
valve recovery)
The safety valves at the top of the storage tanks are connected to the system KTA41.
In the two tanks KBB15 BB001 and KBB16 BB001 the discharge (blowdown) from all
safety valves which discharge into system KTA41 is collected.
*KUA* - Nuclear Sampling System – active liquid samples, balance nuclear island part
Every tank of the *KBB* system is provided with a connection for sampling (via valve
KBB11-16 AA601) to determine the chemical composition of the reactor coolant.

3-10
Moreover a connection to the nuclear sampling system (gaseous samples *KUF*) is
foreseen downstream of the sweeping gas outlet of tank KBB16 BB001. Hence sam-
pling of the sweeping gas can be performed after having passed the *KBB* system.
Furthermore each vessel head is equipped with two connections provided with screwed
plugs. These connections are supposed to be used during e.g. tank maintenance, when
the tank atmosphere has to be flushed with air or fresh nitrogen (e.g. before inspection).
Hence the systems *KLE* (Nuclear Auxiliary Building Ventilation System), *SCB* (Com-
pressed Air Distribution System) or *QJB* (Nitrogen Distribution System) can be con-
nected.

4 ELECTRICAL AND CONTROL EQUIPMENT
4.1 Electrical Power Supply
The Coolant Storage and Supply System is an operational system and thus has no
specific safety functions, no emergency power backup is necessary in case of loss of
offsite power.
The motor-operated valves KBB11 - 16 AA001/002 of the Coolant Storage and Supply
System *KBB* are supplied with 400 V by the uninterrupted AC power supply (that
means also battery back-up). This ensures that the system is kept in a safe state com-
patible with subsequent restart. In particular, isolation of the system has to be effective,
in order to preclude perturbations to or from connected systems or supply systems.

4.2 I&C Functions

4.2.1 General Design

Fig. 4.1
The automatic functional controls are performed by the Safety Automation System
(SAS) since the Coolant Storage and Supply System has a functional relation to the
system *KBA* (e.g. storage of reactor coolant letdown from system *KBA*, demineral-
ized water supply to *KBC* System). Only the measurement KBB10 CT001 is assigned
to the process automation system (PAS) since it is functionally related to the Coolant
Treatment System *KBF* only.
During normal plant operation the system *KBB* is operated automatically by means of
the two subgroup controls
• Subgroup control for Storage of Borated Water (KBB10 EC001)
• Subgroup control for Storage of Demineralized Water (KBB10 EC002)
For an explanation of the operation of the sub group control please refer to section
4.2.2.5.

4-2
4.2.2 Controls and Interlocks
The Coolant Storage and Supply System has separated automatic step programs (sub-
group controls), which contain the on/off-commands of the participating components
(e.g. valves) and subunits. The automatic control of the Coolant Storage and Supply
System contains as above mentioned the two subgroup controls:
• Subgroup control for storage of borated water (KBB10 EC001)
• Subgroup control for storage of demineralized water (KBB10 EC002)
The programs control the filling and draining of the coolant storage tanks in a predeter-
mined order. The borated water will be filled subsequently into the tanks KBB16 BB001,
KBB15 BB001, KBB14 BB001, etc. It is drained from the tanks to the Coolant Treat-
ment System *KBF* in reverse order. Demineralized water will be injected subsequently
into the tanks KBB11 BB001, KBB12 BB001, KBB13 BB001, etc. and is drained from
the tanks mainly to the Reactor Boron and Water Make-up System *KBC* in reverse
order.
The tanks are preselected for the achievement of either borated or demineralized wa-
ter. Under normal circumstances the tank KBB11 BB001 is always selected for demin-
eralized water while tank KBB16 BB001 is always selected for borated water.
Start-up and shutdown of the two subgroup controls KBB10 EC001 and KBB10 EC002
is performed by manual commands from the main control room.
When the both subgroup controls are taken in operation, the activation of the motor-
operated valves is done automatically by these subgroup controls.

4-3
Furthermore one signal caused by level of tank KBB16 BB001 >MAX1 (approx. half full)
leads to the start-up of the evaporator plant of the *KBF* (if automatic start-up of *KBF*
is activated). When tank KBB16 BB001 is empty (i.e. level <MIN1) the shutdown pro-
gram of the evaporator plant is initiated.
4.2.2.1 Measurements and Interlocks
Each tank is provided with level measurements used for the following purposes:
• Indication (in the main control room)
• Protective interlock
• Input signals for sub group controls and subunits (e.g. medium selector)
• Alarms/Warnings

Levels and interlocks/actions of the storage tanks KBB11 - 16 BB001 see:
Fig. 4.2 a – 4.2 f

Level measurements are working redundant as a 1 out of 2 switch since a redundant
switch 1 out of 2 provides higher reliability than a switch 1 out of 1.
Moreover pressure measurements with local indication are located at the top of every
tank and at the borated water and the demineralized water line. Upstream the connec-
tion to the coolant treatment system *KBF* a temperature measurement is installed
which measures the temperature at the suction side of the evaporator feed pumps
KBF11-12 AP001. This temperature measurement triggers a protective interlock in case
of a too high temperature (protection of the evaporator feed pumps and ion exchange
resins of the KBE20 system).
The following sensors (see table “List of measurements”) are installed in the *KBB* sys-
tem:

4.2.2.2 Valves Interlocks
Fig. 4.5, 4.6, 4.7

The motor-operated valves for inlet/outlet of borated water KBB12-16 AA001 and for
inlet/outlet of demineralized water KBB11-15 AA002 are automatically operated by the
subgroup controls. I.e. the open/close positions of these valves depend on which cool-
ant storage tank is connected to the borated water line and demineralized water line
respectively.
Generally the valves KBB11 - 16 AA001/002 are prohibited to open when:
• The tank does not contain the right medium.

Example: The demineralized water valve KBB13 AA002 cannot be opened when
tank 13 is selected for borated water.
• The adjacent valve (i.e. the valve connecting the same tank to the line containing
the other medium) is not closed.
Example: The demineralized water valve KBB13 AA002 cannot be opened when
borated water valve KBB13 AA001 is opened (signal “not closed”).
These measures ensure that mixing of medium by injecting borated water into a tank
containing demineralized water (or vice versa) is prevented.
Protective interlocks, which close the valves when the level in the corresponding tank
exceeds the maximum value protect the tanks against overfilling.
4.2.2.3 Medium Selection KBB11-16 EY001 in the Storage Tanks
Fig. 4.8
The task of the medium selection is to dedicate a tank to either borated water or
demineralized water. This function is necessary for the *KBB* I&C in order to store the
“right” medium in a tank (i.e. to prevent mixing of reactor coolant and demineralized wa-
ter).

4-10
The medium preselection of a tank is performed by a selector (one selector per tank).
Depending on the level in the tank and the position of the valves connecting the tank to
the borated or demineralized water line, the tank medium (borated or demineralized
water) is determined automatically. When the level in a tank rises and exceeds a mini-
mum value (approx. 0.3 m) the tank medium is selected to be demineralized water, if
the demineralized water valve (KBB11-16 AA002) is open. Likewise the tank medium is
then selected to be borated water, if the borated water valve (KBB11-16 AA001) is
open.
If a tank has been dedicated to a certain medium it will keep its preselection. As long as
the tank level remains above 0.3 m the tank medium selection does not disappear
(even if the valve closes). When the tank level falls below 0.3 m the tank dedication
disappears and the tank – when refilled - can be selected to borated water or deminer-
alized water accordingly which related valve is opened automatically or by manual

measures (see also following section “Tank Options”).

Whenever a tank is selected for a medium type, the valve, which connects the tank to
the pipe containing the other medium, is prohibited to open. This prevents mixing of the
two qualities of medium. Moreover the tank medium selection is necessary as an input
for the subgroup control for storage of borated and demineralized water in order to de-
termine the proper tank sequence for medium storage and supply.
Tank Options:
In order to change the determination of the kind of the medium in a tank, a special man-
ual command is provided. In case of manual actions (i.e. subgroup control out of opera-
tion) like medium transfer between tanks (see section 5.1.1) a change of tank medium
selection may be required.
Before switching over manually the tank medium selector KBB11 – 16 EY001, the op-
erator has to activate the subloop control KBB00 EY001. Then the release for changing
the tank dedication is granted for a time period of 30 sec.

4-11
4.2.2.4 Tank Sequence KBB10 EY001 of the Storage Tanks
Fig. 4.9, 4.10

The tank sequence checks if the medium can be filled into the tanks in the correct or-
der. I.e. borated water can be filled subsequently into the tanks KBB16 BB001,
KBB15 BB001, KBB14 BB001, etc. while demineralized water can be filled subse-
quently into the tanks KBB11 BB001, KBB12 BB001, KBB13 BB001, etc).
For this purpose the tank sequence determination compares the tank medium selection
(see 4.2.2.3) of the six tanks. When it is assured, that medium can be filled into the
tanks in the above mentioned order, permission for the activation of the subgroup con-
trol is granted.
4.2.2.5 Subgroup Controls

*KBB* does not have a group control, but there are 2 subgroup controls:
• Subgroup control for storage of borated water: SGC KBB10 EC001
• Subgroup control for storage of demineralized water: SGC KBB10 EC001
Start-up and shutdown of the two subgroup controls KBB10 EC001 and KBB10 EC002
are performed by manual commands from the main control room.
Fig. 4.11
For the manual start-up release signals (permission for start-up) are necessary (see
table). The predetermined tank sequence was verified, i.e. the medium can be filled into
the tanks in a predetermined order (see 4.2.2.4).
When the both subgroup controls are taken in operation, the activation of the motor-
operated valves is done automatically by these subgroup controls.

In order to avoid filling borated water into tank KBB11 BB001 or filling demineralized
water into tank KBB16 BB001 respectively, protective shutdown of the subgroup con-
trols is triggered, when

• SGC KBB10 EC001 (Subgroup control for storage of borated water):

Tank KBB12 BB001 contains borated water (i.e. KBB12 BB001 dedicated to bor-
ated water) and level KBB12 CL901 > MAX3
• SGC KBB10 EC002 (Subgroup control for storage of demineralized water):

Tank KBB15 BB001 contains demineralized water (i.e. KBB15 BB001 dedicated
to demineralized water) and level KBB15 CL901 > MAX3
For the confirmation of the correct status of the subgroup controls checkback signals
are provided (i.e. correct operation of SGC after activation, complete execution of SGC
shutdown):
• SGC KBB10 EC001 (Subgroup control for storage of borated water):

Checkback “In operation”: One borated water valve open (during switching over
from one tank to the next tank for a short moment two borated water valves open)
and the tank sequence is in the predetermined order.
Checkback “Shutdown”: All borated water valves (KBB11-16 AA001) closed.

4-13
• SGC KBB10 EC002 (Subgroup control for storage of demineralized water):
Checkback “In operation”: One demineralized water valve open (during switching
over from one tank to the next tank for a short moment two demineralized water
valves open) and the tank sequence is in the predetermined order.
Checkback “Shutdown”: All demineralized water valves (KBB11-16 AA002)
closed.
Filling and Drainage Procedure of the Storage Tanks
The operating principle for storage of demineralized and borated water is given in
scheme Fig. 4.12 and Fig. 4.13.
Fig. 4.12, 4.13

Upon activation, the subgroup controls fill (and drain) the medium into/from the *KBB*
system in a predetermined sequence. The subgroup control for storage of borated wa-
ter starts filling medium into tank KBB16 BB001, whereas the subgroup control for stor-
age of demineralized water starts filling medium into tank KBB11 BB001. In case these
tanks are already completely filled, the next tank with available storage volume will be
selected. When during filling of the *KBB* either with demineralized or with borated wa-
ter the level in a tank reaches a certain value (MAX3), the automatic initiates the shift-
ing to the next tank. During draining the shifting to the precedent tank is initiated when
the level reaches MIN2. Since tank KBB11 BB001 is dedicated to the storage of demin-
eralized water and tank KBB16 BB001 is dedicated to the storage of borated water the
subgroup controls will be transferred to shutdown mode before filling “incorrect” me-
dium (i.e. demineralized water in KBB16 BB001, borated water in KBB11 BB001) into
one of these tanks.
The operating principle of the subgroup controls (filling and draining the tanks) will be
described by means of the example “storage of demineralized water” SGC
KBB10 EC002 (Subgroup control for storage of demineralized water)

4-14
The verification of the tank sequence gives the release for operation (otherwise stand-
still can be executed).
Fig. 4.14
The steps in the automatic program for filling and draining the tanks with demineralized
water (DEM WT) from KBB11 BB001 to KBB15 BB001 will be illustrated with the pro-
cedure for filling KBB11 BB001 until KBB12 B001 will be connected (or drained).
Fig. 4.15 – 4.18 give an example of the SGC for storage of demineralized water. The
particular steps present the filling of KBB11 BB001 and switch over to the tank KBB12
BB001. The procedures for the other tanks are analogous.
Fig. 4.15 – 4.18
(see also animated Fig. 5.1 and Fig. 5.2– filling logic)
In order to provide a smoother transient for the pumps supplying medium to the *KBB*
system at first the next tank to receive medium is connected to the demineral-
ized/borated water line before the precedent tank is disconnected after a certain time
period.
4.2.2.6 Analog Values on Plant Displays

Operation and Monitoring:
The *KBB* system is operated and monitored from the main control room. Operation
and monitoring is performed by the process information and control system (PICS).
The automatic management of the coolant storage tanks is based on several level limit
values which are shown in the main control room.

4-15
During normal operation of the coolant storage and supply system, the coolant storage
tanks are automatically connected to and disconnected from the borated water line or
the demineralized water line in a predetermined sequence. An interlocking ensures that
one tank filled with reactor coolant can only be connected to the borated water line, and
that one tank containing demineralized water can only be connected to the demineral-
ized water line. The tank valves are monitored and controlled from the main control
room.


4-16
5 OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
5.1 Normal System Operation Conditions
During normal system operating conditions the system *KBB* is ready to receive and
supply simultaneously reactor coolant and demineralized water. I.e. one tank is con-
tinuously connected to the demineralized line while another tank is continuously con-
nected to the borated water line.
The normal flow paths to/from the *KBB* system are:
• Borated water line

- Borated water/ reactor coolant enters the *KBB* from *KBA* via the three-
way valve KBA20 AA104 and valve KBB10 AA001

- Borated water/ reactor coolant from *KTA* enters the *KBB* via valve
KBA20 AA004
- The Coolant Treatment System *KBF* will be supplied to *KBF* system by

the *KBF* evaporator feed pumps KBF11-12 AP001, sucking from the bor-
ated water line
• Demineralized water line

- Demineralized water produced in the *KBF* system is fed into the demineral-
ized water line
- The demineralized water pumps KBC31-32 AP001 from the *KBC* system
take suction from the demineralized water line for injection of the demineral-
ized water into the RCS (Reactor Coolant System) via the *KBA*

5-1
5.1.1 Automatic Control of the Coolant Storage and Supply System
Fig. 5.1, 5.2

The filling and draining of the tanks is normally automatically done by two separated
programs (subgroup controls) for storage of demineralized water and storage of bor-
ated water (reactor coolant).
During normal operation of the coolant storage and supply system both subgroup con-
trols are in operation in order to enable a simultaneous storage (i.e. receipt and re-
lease) of both borated water and demineralized water. This process is described under
chapter 4.2.2. One tank is connected to the borated water line while another one is
connected to the demineralized water line thus giving the opportunity of storing and de-
livering medium at the same time.
5.1.2 Specific Operation Modes

First filling of the coolant storage tanks
For the first filling of the Coolant Storage and Supply System a connection between the
*GHC* and the demineralized water line of the *KBB* via the valve KBB10 AA002 is
provided. Since the initial filling of the *KBB* is performed during the commissioning
phase of the plant (i.e. several connected systems are still open to the atmosphere) the
filling can be performed with aerated demineralized water. Any further measures for the
replenishment of demineralized water will be performed by the degasifying unit of the
*KBF*.

5-2
Transfer between tanks
One by-pass line between the borated water line and the demineralized water line is
provided to permit transfer from one tank to another using the evaporator feed pumps
KBF11-12 AP001. In normal operating modes this pipe is shut by means of the valve
KBF10 AA002. If medium transfer between tanks is desired, both *KBB* and *KBF*
have to be operated manually (i.e. sub group controls for storage of bor-
ated/demineralized water as well as *KBF* group /subgroup controls out of operation;
see also chapter 4.2.2.2 “Tank Options”).
5.2 Abnormal System Operation Conditions

Since the Coolant Storage and Supply System is an operational system and has no
specific safety functions, the single failure criterion does not apply to the Coolant Stor-
age and Supply System. Consequently no redundancy is required.
If the *KBB* system fails, there is no instantaneous influence on the reactor coolant
system. The load-follow capability is limited. In the long term the necessary daily reduc-
tion of the boron concentration of the reactor coolant cannot be achieved.
5.3 Normal Plant Operation Conditions
5.3.1 Plant Start-up
Fig. 5.3
Prior to plant start-up, max. 4 coolant storage tanks are filled with demineralized water
and at least 2 are empty. One of the 2 empty tanks (mainly KBB16 BB001) is used to
accept the thermal expansion water following heating up RCS in the course of plant
start-up. The second one serves for coolant exchange needed for deboration.
Remark:

5-3
This configuration of the 4 filled and 2 empty tanks is associated with the required ca-
pacities before start-up. Of course, only one tank is connected at any one time to the
borated water line and there is also only one tank connected to the demineralized water
line.
Fig. 5.4
During plant start-up, with increasing coolant temperature in relationship to the nominal
operational characteristics, the intake of expansion reactor coolant water will take place
in the storage tanks (KBB16 BB001, then KBB15 BB001 and then …).
5.3.2 Power Operation

Fig. 5.5, 5.6

During normal plant operation the Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB* is in op-
eration with both subgroup controls running.
While adjustment of boron concentration in the reactor coolant, the amount of deminer-
alized water to be supplied to the RCS is roughly the same as the amount of reactor
coolant accepted by the coolant storage tanks. Consequently there is no significant
change of the overall amount in the *KBB* tanks during power operation of the plant.
Simultaneously demineralized water is injected via *KBC* by means of the demineral-

ized water make-up pumps into the *KBA*/RCS whilst reactor coolant is accommodated
in the *KBB* system. When the evaporator unit of the *KBF* system is in operation,
reactor coolant coming from the borated water line enters the *KBF* boric acid column
via the evaporator feed pumps. Normally the demineralized water produced in *KBF* is
returned to *KBB* via the demineralized water line.
At least the volume corresponding to one tank has to be empty during normal *KBB*
operation (this ensures that at the moment of shifting to the next storage tank one tank

5-4
is completely empty) in order to prevent mixing of demineralized water with borated wa-
ter.
5.3.3 Plant Shutdown
Filling conditions of the tanks analogous as shown in Fig. 5.3
When the plant is cold shutdown, processed expansion water is returned to the Reactor
Coolant System to compensate for cooldown contraction. The initial storage configura-
tion for the plant is restored (4 tanks filled with demineralized water, 2 tanks empty).
If the plant is in shutdown state and it is considered that the pressurizer is completely
filled (e.g. for pressure test purposes), in this case the maximum possible amount of
borated water is present in the RCS.


5.3.4 Plant Shutdown for Refueling
Fig. 5.7
Prior to refueling, the level in the Reactor Coolant System has to be lowered down to
mid-loop. If the RCS-level is at mid-loop, it could happen that after treatment by *KBF*
system, a maximum of 5 tanks are filled with demineralized water. Thus only 1 *KBB*
tank is available for subsequent coolant exchanges. Depending on the overall coolant
mass involved during power operation, the release of a certain excess water volume via
*KPK* may be required.
5.4 Abnormal Plant Operation Conditions
The arrangement of the coolant storage tanks assures that flooding of any safety classi-
fied building or equipment due to leaks in these tanks cannot occur.

(KBB11-16 AA001/002) are supplied by the uninterrupted AC power supply.
However, all motor-operated valves and the Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB*
There is no demand for the Coolant Storage and Supply System to operate under ab-

6 GENERAL OPERATIONAL ASPECTS
6.1 Accessibility
The *KBB* tanks in the *UKA* building are normally not accessible during normal oper-
ating conditions. The corresponding valves, however, are installed in accessible rooms.
All relevant measurements and actuators for operation and surveillance of the system
are available in the main control room.
Connections for venting and draining of *KBB* piping and tanks are designed and con-
structed such that access and handling is easily possible. The components of the
*KBB* are arranged such that necessary inspection, maintenance or repair is feasible.
The ease of maintenance and repair or inspection is given by decontamination possibili-

ties at each tank.

Possible deposits of primary coolant in the *KBB* pipes are avoided by routing the pip-
ing with slopes joined with drain connections at low points.
Since activated corrosion products are the dominant source of the dose rate relevant
for the personnel exposure, all pipes, valves and components in the *KBB* are made of
austenitic steel.
In order to minimize personnel radiation exposure and furthermore to minimize the

10
losses of medium, especially with respect to the enrichment of B and radioactive con-
tamination, special measures regarding leak tightness are taken by using:
• Recovery of releases from the safety valves
• Recycling of primary drains
• Use of diaphragm valves

6-1
6.2 Testing and Inspections
6.2.1 Pre-operational tests
Pre-operational tests in the commissioning phase prove the design adequacy and the
performance of the Coolant Storage and Supply System *KBB*.
6.2.2 Periodic tests
As the coolant Storage and Supply system has operational functions only, periodic tests
are not required.
6.2.3 Maintenance and Inspection

It is recommended to implement the inspection and the maintenance of the tanks in the
nuclear auxiliary system during plant operation in order to avoid long outage periods.
Inspection/maintenance which is executed during power operation leads to conse-
quences for the connected systems, because the concerned tank cannot participate in
the normal operation for a certain time. This time includes the provision of accessibility,
draining, cleaning, inspection, refilling and reconnection of this tank.
Therefore the in-service inspections are recommended at a time, where the anticipated
transients for predicable period are low (e.g. shortly after beginning of life after achieve-
ment of Xenon-Equilibrium).
