English term

for the line break situation

English Other Nuclear Eng/Sci
All the inside containment isolation condenser valves (AC operated) would keep their position when the AC power was lost, but they would close, by design, if the control power (i.e. DC power) was lost to the protection system — for the line break situation — that would have sent ‘close signal’ signals to those valves. The position of AC-powered isolation valves has not yet been confirmed by post accident investigations.
