5.3 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM [RCS]

5.3.1 Introduction

 RCS transfers heat from the reactor core to steam generator for steam
generation.

 RCS may comprise 2 or 3 or 4 loops in parallel.

 Each loop contains Reactor Coolant Pump and Steam Generator, with
common reactor vessel and pressurizer.

 RCS with 4 Loops

5.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS

5.6.1 Containment structure

5.6.2 Containment Isolation System [CIS]

 CIS provides the means of isolating the various fluid systems passing through
the containment walls.
 Post accident, leakage from the containment through pipes and ducts which
penetrate the containment is minimized by use of double barrier.
 The double barrier ensures that failure of a single active component along a
leakage path will not result in loss of ability to isolate the containment.
 A barrier may be a valve, a blind flange, or a closed piping system or a
vessel.
 The isolation barriers are located as close to the containment penetration as
practicable.

5.6.5 Hydrogen Detection and Suppression System

 FOR DCPL’s INTERNAL USE ONLY

 Under accident conditions, coolant radiography and the zirconium water

reaction can result in the release of hydrogen gas to the containment
atmosphere.

 Eventually the gas could accumulate to an explosive hydrogen/oxygen ratio.

 To control this potential risk the reactor containment is provided with:

 A hydrogen detection system that can detect and report in a continuous

manner the hydrogen content in the containment atmosphere. Alarms at
appropriate set points are provided.

 A containment ventilation system that circulates the containment

atmosphere to remove pockets of high hydrogen concentration after an
accident.

 Hydrogen re-combiners that burn the free hydrogen. The

hydrogen/oxygen combination results in water.
