3.8.1 Purpose:
The radiation monitoring system (RMS) of the facility will include nos. of instruments
and sub-systems. The purpose of radiation monitoring instruments provided in the plant
is to provide information on the radiation levels in different areas of the plant, provide
alarms when these levels are exceeded beyond levels stipulated by regulatory authorities.
Industrially proven instruments will be employed for this purpose, with sufficient
redundancy to ensure availability of required data.
However the design, engineering, detailing of CDAC system architecture for Radiation
Display and Alarm System (RADAS), including field nuclear instruments, Distributed
Radiation Protection Consoles (DRPC) and Central Radiation Protection Console
(CRPC) is in scope of consultancy.
DRPCs will be provided at various entry points to different plant areas. A number of
DRPCs shall be installed at the entry point of different areas of the plant. These will
show the status of instruments within the specified area and alert the operator about any
of the instruments in alarm state before entering the area. The DRPC will be linked to
CRPC and to provide alternate data link to CRPC.
Active areas of the blocks/ building such as Access Galleries, Sampling Laboratories, lab
etc, shall be equipped with a dedicated wall-mounted type DRPC to warn the O&M
personnel, prior to their entry in the respective areas. DRPC shall continuously display
radiation data and status of each instrument on the screen by simulating front facia of
each monitor. The system shall also displays the warning messages and instructions to
the personnel entering the active areas.
The display screen shall show a Graphical user interface designed to show the instrument
facias in which the instrument reading and alarm status are shown. When any of the
instruments is in alarm condition, related warning message is also displayed on the
screen.
Signals from all the monitoring instruments will be brought to these consoles for display,
recording and annunciation. Separate terminals for each block will be available
exclusively for the CRPC, which will display the area layout with zoning and will show
the location of all instruments along with the alarm status.
CRPC in the Control Room shall consist of SCADA Operator stations, video graphic
recorders, microprocessor based audio- visual alarm annunciators.
The PC based SCADA Operator stations which are part of the Plant Computerized Data
Acquisition System (CDACS) System, shall run standard commercially available
SCADA package along with application program developed for data acquisition, display
and messaging. It shall acquire the radiation data from the field instruments directly and
through the Programmable logic controllers. This information shall be displayed in
different formats, store the data and generate reports. These values and the stored data
can be printed on demand. CRPC shall display and store the information about the
radiation levels and air activity levels in various areas of the plant. It shall not be possible
to modify Historical trends, data and alarm logs, other information pertaining to
operator‟s passwords, access rights, actions etc. without proper authorisation. Each fault
and alarm shall be displayed on the screen with different colors, so that radiation alarm
and instrument fault are distinct.
One SCADA Operator station per block shall be provided on the Control room panel.
Another SCADA Operator station shall be installed in the room of Shift – HP to provide
the information regarding the plant radiation status on his desk. A graphic display on
these consoles indicates floor plans with colored radiation zones of the facility, location
of radiation instruments and corresponding radiation data with alarm status.
Radiation data from the important instruments shall be displayed continuously on Video
graphic Recorder and Alarm condition shall be provided by audio-visual alarm
annunciators. On receiving alarm status, electronic beeper as well as indicator lamp shall
be activated. The alarm annunciators shall be provided with Ack & Reset switches.
Criticality alarms shall be indicated by bright red panel lights and distinct audio alarm
and show the corresponding incident location. A test switch shall be provided at the
console to test proper functioning of alarm annunciator.
4.1 GENERAL
All the nuclear SSCs are designed for single level of site-specific earthquake loads. There
are three levels of earthquakes identified for our SSCs, viz. EQL-1, which is equivalent to
SSE of NPPs‟; EQL-2, which is equivalent to OBE of NPPs‟; and EQL-3, which is
derived from the code IS-1893-2004. These earthquakes are defined as the design basis
earthquakes.
The higher temperature, humidity and radiation resulting from normal / abnormal
condition, vibrations due to seismic motions are the abnormal ambient conditions to
which safety related instrument system components are subjected.
The instruments may be subjected to such abnormal conditions at any time during its life
time. If the equipment has components that are degradable with time under normal
operating conditions, effects of such ageing will be considered during qualification
program.
The instrument is mounted on shake table which can be simulated to produce anticipated
floor motion during earthquake. The performance of the instrument is observed by
monitoring the condition of critical components to check that no mal-operations take
place during the test. Five numbers of tests simulating OBE condition and one test
simulating SSE condition are carried out. During testing, shake table is moved in all three
directions. During and after the test, condition of all components and their performance is
verified. Detailed procedure, method for derivation of shake table motion, acceptance
criteria, monitoring points etc., are detailed in individual test reports for various
components.
The design, procurement, installation and commissioning of instruments and systems are
subjected to detailed quality assurance program covering all important aspects of the
specifications. The quality assurance will be carried out based on approved quality
control plans, procedures and acceptance norms. The quality assurance program generally
follows the guidelines given in AERB code literatures.
