Updated Final Safety Analysis Report - (STS-004-002)Figure 4-3Reactor Compartment4.3.2 Cooling SectionThe cooling (or upper reactor compartment recirculation) part <strong>of</strong> the RSV system is deactivated,disabled and performs no active function. It is located entirely in the reactor compartment. Two airintakes were provided. The recirculating air intake is on the port side at the A-deck level. The freshair intake was supplied by fan l-<strong>10</strong>5-1 via regulating valve RS-40V. The recirculation fans (one is aspare) took suction on the intake manifold and discharge past the salt-water-cooled air cooling coilsinto a common header. This header distributed the air throughout the upper part <strong>of</strong> the reactorcompartment.Any ductwork or other components removed, as part <strong>of</strong> removing the RCP motors in 1971 orremoving the primary purification ion exchangers (demineralizers) in 1976, was not replaced.The water supply for the cooling coils (RS-C1 and RS-C2) was from the sea water pumps <strong>of</strong> theintermediate cooling water (CW) system. A booster pump RS-P5 provided additional head for thecooling water when required.4.3.3 Exhaust Section4.3.3.1 FunctionThe exhaust system <strong>of</strong> the RSV system is deactivated, disabled and performs no active function.It was part <strong>of</strong> the engineered safeguards for the ship. Its primary purpose was to retain anyparticulate and halogen fission products which may leak from the containment vessel. Theeffectiveness <strong>of</strong> its filter system was tested periodically to demonstrate desired efficiency foriodine and particulate removal.The exhaust section <strong>of</strong> the RSV system maintained the reactor compartment at a pressure <strong>of</strong>approximately 1 inch wg below the B-deck corridor pressure. The reactor compartmentpressure was below that <strong>of</strong> the surrounding shipboard areas and the containment vessel. Thisarrangement ensured that any containment vessel leakage was exhausted via the filter-adsorberbanks in the RSV system and not to the surrounding shipboard areas. The reactor compartmentRev. VI 37
