Updated Final Safety Analysis Report - (STS-004-002)would have also acted as a surge tank in providing additional holdup (decay) time for fissionproducts escaping from the containment vessel.4.3.3.2 Containment Vessel PurgingThe containment vessel was purged via the exhaust section of the RSV system. Purging wasdone by opening the containment vessel purge valves (WL-12V and WL-13V) and closing adamper in the suction of the exhaust section of the RSV system. Air was thus drawn from thereactor compartment into the containment vessel and then to the exhaust section of the RSVsystem.4.3.3.3 Suction Ductwork and Lower PlenumThe exhaust section of the RSV system took suction in the lower part of the reactorcompartment via a single duct to the lower plenum. Separate connections on the lower plenumlead to the two filter-adsorber banks. Motor-operated valves (RS-3V and RS-4V) adjacent tothe lower plenum provided flow control. Controls for these valves are located nearby. Normaloperation was with one of the filter-adsorber banks in service and the other on standby.4.3.3.4 Filter UnitsThe filter units consist of demisters, roughing filters, absolute filters and iodine adsorberassemblies. The filters and adsorbers were each designed for a specific purpose. Each filter andadsorber is described below.The demister was the first process unit downstream of the inlet valves and is provided for theremoval of any entrained water in the exhaust gases. The demister consists of a mat of Teflonyarn on a stainless steel core. This type of construction had been extensively tested at theSavannah River Laboratories (SRL).The roughing filter follows the demister. Its purpose was to remove particulate matter from theexhaust stream. The filtering medium consists of a glass wool mat arranged in a pleated patternfor greater surface area.The absolute filter is located downstream of the roughing filter. Its purpose was to remove veryfine particulate matter which passes through the demister and roughing filter. The filteringmedium is a glass sheath that is arranged in the form of deep pleats for additional surface area.The absolute filters were tested quarterly and prior to each port entry for particulate matterremoval efficiency. This test was performed using an aerosol produced by bubbling air throughthe liquid dioctyl phthalate (DOP). The aerosol was carried along in the RSV system by theexhaust air stream and the DOP concentration was determined on both sides of the filteradsorberbank. Each absolute filter was tested many times and the efficiency was consistentlyindicated to be more than 100 times higher than the required 99.9%.The iodine adsorber assembly follows the absolute filter. This unit consists of three partsmounted in a common housing. The first and last parts of the assembly are identical and consistof mats of silver-plated copper ribbon. This material, made of 4% silver and 96% copper, iscompressed to a density of 27 lb/ft3 and is 4 inches thick. The function of this adsorber is toremove halogens from the exhaust stream by chemical combination with the silver.The middle part is a charcoal adsorber. Granular activated charcoal is contained in 10horizontal beds, each of which is 2 feet wide, 4 feet long and 1 inch thick. The charcoal is heldin place by perforated plates. Baffles at the ends of the trays ensure parallel flow through all 10beds.Rev. VI 38
Updated Final Safety Analysis Report - (STS-004-002)The ventilation stream from both filter-adsorber banks flowed to the upper plenum. Air fromthe upper plenum goes to the fans. The exhaust fans took suction from the upper plenum anddischarge into a single duct leading to the foremast (90-foot elevation). Drains are provided tohandle any condensate formed in the fan or the discharge line. These drains terminate in theforward sump in the reactor compartment.Rev. VI 39
