Updated Final Safety Analysis Report - (STS-004-002)The instrument air system provided clean, dehumidified air at various pressures for the followinguses:Main steam stop valve control (80 to <strong>10</strong>0 psig);Ship’s air conditioning control (80 to 90 psig);Diesel oil tank level indicators (40 psig);Control valves and tank level indicators (40 psig);Main control console in the main control room, signal transmitters and auxiliary panels A & B(30 psig);Quantichem analyzer (20 psig); and,Containment vessel personnel air supply (via CO analyzer).The instrument air system consists <strong>of</strong> dual air intake filters (NI-Fl and NI-F2), instrument aircompressors (NI-P1 and NI-P2) and instrument aftercoolers (NI-C1 and NI-C2) which dischargedinto the instrument control air tank (NI-T1). From the instrument control air tank, the air wasdistributed to the two air filters (NI-F6 and NI-F7) and to the pressure reducing network whichsupplied the various shipboard air services.The two air compressors are vertical, reciprocating, water-cooled units that were belt driven by 20hp, 440-volt electric motors. Each compressor has a rated output <strong>of</strong> 80 cfm at <strong>10</strong>0 psig whenoperating at 537 rpm. Cooling water (with chromates to inhibit rust) was supplied to the compressorand aftercooler by the intermediate cooling water (CW) system. A pressure control valve is installedin the cooling water inlet line to prevent overpressure <strong>of</strong> the compressors in the event that the CWsystem pressure was raised for emergency cooling.A manually operated crossover connection is provided for the ship service air system in the event <strong>of</strong>total instrument compressor failure. Normal operation called for one <strong>of</strong> the compressors to be inoperation with the second unit on standby. Local and remote instrumentation is provided to alert theoperators to abnormal conditions.8.6.2 Waste Dilution and Disposal (WD) SystemAll <strong>of</strong> the waste dilution and disposal (WD) system equipment is deactivated, disabled and performsno active function.The WD system, located in the engine room, consists <strong>of</strong> a pump, regulator, valves and piping. Thefunction <strong>of</strong> the WD system was to transfer radioactive waste water from the equipment drain andwaste collection (PD) system and to accurately measure and discharge waste water to thehydrosphere through the main condenser circulating system.A positive-displacement reciprocating pump that had a discharge capacity <strong>of</strong> 0 to 30 gph wasarranged to take suction from the PD system; it discharged through a pressure control valve (WD-5V) to the salt water circulating system inlet plenum <strong>of</strong> the main condenser. Operation <strong>of</strong> the systemcalls for the waste transfer pump (PD-P1) to discharge to the suction side <strong>of</strong> the dilution pump (WD-P1) in the starboard buffer seal charge pump room. The dilution pump discharge rate was varied asrequired so that the overboard discharge activity was below acceptable limits for the zone in whichthe vessel was sailing.The pressure regulator (WD-5V) on the dilution pump discharge was set at <strong>10</strong>0 psig; this precludedinadvertent direct discharge by the transfer pump because the setting was above the shut<strong>of</strong>f head <strong>of</strong>Rev.
