down conditions, cooling water to the equipment necessary for the plant safety is ensured by two of the four pumps.

  1. Component cooling water heat exchangers

The component cooling water is cooled by the sea water at the four component cooling heat exchangers. The heat exchangers are a conventional shell and U-tube type, and sea water flows in the tubes, while the component cooling water flows in the shell sides.

During the plant normal operation, two of the four heat exchangers are used.

The design capacity of the component cooling water heat exchangers is based on the requirement that two of the four heat exchangers supply cooling water at 35^ to components to keep them cooled under the normal plant operation conditions, with the component cooling heat exchangers being cooled by the sea water at its CCWS design temperature. Also, it should be confirmed that two heat exchangers supply sufficient cooling water to the equipment necessary for the plant safety during post­accident plant cooling-down operations. In some recent plants, two large heat exchangers are used instead of the conventional four small ones. One heat exchanger is used during the plant normal operation.

  1. Component cooling water surge tank

The component cooling water surge tank is designed to accommodate volume surges caused by thermal expansion and contraction, to make up and compensate water leakages from the system, and to maintain a constant pressure at the suctions of the component cooling water pumps. The lower part of the tank is divided into two sections, with each section being connected by a surge line to one of the two safety headers; when needed the two safety headers can be separated from each other.

  1. Sea Water System (sws)

(1) System composition and functions

i) System composition

A schematic flow diagram of a sea water system (SWS: This abbreviation SWS stands for Service Water System in overseas plants using non-salt

water to cool plant equipment, instead of the sea water used in our domestic plants.) is shown in Figure 3.8.4. Two of the four sea water pumps are connected to each of the two redundant sea water supply headers. The two redundant headers are separated by two isolation valves in series during the plant normal operation. Either one of the two redundant headers can provide the required amount of sea water flow during the long term reactor cooling periods.

The SWS is used under both the normal operation and post-accident operations of the plant. It is the ultimate heat sink for the plant, and removes heat from the reactor coolant system via the component cooling water system. It also cools emergency diesel-generators and chillers of the heating and ventilating systems.

ii) Function

The SWS supplies cooling sea water to the component cooling water heat exchangers, emergency diesel generators and chillers of the heating and ventilating system.

(2) Sea water pumps

The SWS usually has four pumps, two of which are used during the plant normal operation. During the recirculation cooling phase of the ECCS operation following a LOCA to remove the core residual and sensible heats from the reactor coolant system, the required minimum cooling sea water flow for the components necessary for the plant safety is assured by two of the four pumps.

  1. Spent Fuel Pit Cooling and Clean-up

System

(1) System composition and functions

  1. System composition

A schematic flow diagram of a spent fuel pit cooling and clean-up system for a two-pit design plant is shown in Figure 3.8.5. In some plants, due to layout limitations, a two-small-pits design is used instead of a large-one-pit design. However, in either plant designs, the numbers of cooling and clean-up loops are normally two. The spent fuel pit cooling system has two closed loops, taking water from the upper part of the spent fuel pit and returning it to the pit after it is cooled by the spent
