7.3 Steam GeneratorsUpdated Final Safety Analysis Report - (STS-004-002)Both steam generators consist <strong>of</strong> a steam drum and a U-tube, U-shell heat exchanger with primary pipingconnected to the inlet and outlet nozzles on the heads <strong>of</strong> the shell (see Figure 7-4).Figure 7-4Steam GeneratorThe shell side <strong>of</strong> the heat exchanger section is connected to a conventional steam drum above the heatexchanger by means <strong>of</strong> 13 risers and 8 downcomers. The risers and downcomers were designed to ensurenatural circulation at all loads and attitudes <strong>of</strong> the ship within the design pitch and roll conditions.Cyclone separators and scrubbers in the steam drum supplied dry saturated steam at the outlet nozzles.The entire steam generator is supported on saddles that are bolted to the primary system support structure.The primary water tubes are type-304 stainless steel. The steam drums, risers, downcomers and the shellside <strong>of</strong> the heat exchangers are carbon steel (USCG 51.04). The channel ends and the tube sheets werealso fabricated from carbon steel, but are clad on the inside with type-304 stainless steel. See 8.1 foradditional detail.The basic control for the steam generators was a three-element feed-water control that used steam flow,water flow and steam generator (boiler drum) level as controlling signals. Steam flow and feedwater flowmeasurements were compared by a ratio relay, which furnishes a signal to a standatrol. The standatrolRev. VI 66
