REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Chemical Engineering Branch (CMEB)Materials and Chemical Engineering Branch (EMCB)1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The condensate cleanup system (CCS) removes dissolved and suspended impurities due to corrosion from condenser or steam generator leaks that could be introduced into the CCS by carryover from the main steam system. The CCS is not required for safe shutdown or mitigation of postulated accidents, but is important in maintaining the primary coolant quality in direct cycle plantsboiling water reactors (BWRs) orand the secondary coolant quality in indirect cycle 2 3 plantspressurized water reactors (PWRs).4 The CMEBEMCB reviews the CCS from the supply point downstream of the condensate pumps 5 to the discharge point upstream of the feedwater heaters, and also to the interfaces with the effluent treatment systems. 1. The CMEB assures that the CCS is reviewed to verify that the system provides feedwater to the reactor for direct cycle plants or to steam generators for indirect cycle plants that meets water purity requirements. Condensers are reviewed to determine that proper design measures are taken to assure that the chloride concentration and other contaminant concentrations are limited to allowable values until the condensate and feedwater systems can be isolated in the event of condenser tube leaks. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 10.4.6-2 2. A review is performed by CMEB to determine that the quality of the water supplied to the reactor for direct cycle plants (SRP Section 5.4.8), and to the steam generators for indirect cycle plants (BTP MTEB 5-3), meets water purity requirements. CMEB reviews are performed to verify the compatibility of the materials of construction with the service conditions. The review determines that the water supplied to the reactor for BWRs (Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 5.4.8), and to steam generators for PWRs (Branch Technical Position (BTP) MTEB 5-3), meets purity requirements.
