PUR-1 Water Processing and Cooling System Upgrade
The project objective was to purchase equipment related to the safety and operational capability of PUR-1. Following a 10x power uprate and the return to an active operational cycle, a water process system replacement is required to maintain the bulk coolant temperature within the bounds of the Technical Specification limit at the PUR-1. The replacement project will ensure safety and availability of the PUR-1 for long duration operational cycles and applicability to the largest possible customer base. The equipment to be purchased for this work includes a new main coolant pump rated to at least 30 gallons per minute, a heat exchanger to remove heat from the primary coolant, and a chiller system to release the heat to the environment via city water. The proposed system exactly replicates the installed system with a slight increase in capacity.
