2.0 INTRODUCTION NGNP Background: The Next Generation Nuclear Power plant (NGNP) is a modular gas cooled High Temperature Reactor (HTR) electrical power plant. The power plant can also be used to generate steam for industrial process heat, or a combination of both electricity and process heat. The key attributes of the modular HTR that distinguish it from other reactor types are its fuel, a refractory fuel consisting of coated particles which are embedded in graphite moderator, and its helium coolant. These attributes not only provide for a high temperature capability that is unique among established reactor concepts but also offers fuel cycle flexibility. Additionally, these characteristics associated with limitations on power level and power density makes possible the development of a modular concept with inherent safety characteristics simpler than those employed by current light water reactor technology.
Objective: The objective of this document is to define the boundaries and interfaces of the major systems which make up the Nuclear Heat Source (NHS). Description of each system will be provided as needed to describe the boundaries and interfaces.
Document structure: For each major system of the NHS a brief verbal description of the system will be provided. Figures will be provided following the verbal description where deemed useful. After the description and Figures where used, a Table will be provided that lists the boundaries and interfaces. The boundaries will be described where possible at their physical location. The name of the system with which the boundary exists will be listed and the corresponding acronym listed in the interfaces. See Section 5.0 for additional information.
Document limitation: Changes were made to the system definitions of the NGNP Plant Design Requirements Document, 51-9106032-000 after the initial release of this document. In general, this does not significantly alter the NHS system boundaries and interfaces described herein. However, some nomenclature will have to be updated to make both documents fully consistent. Elimination of project funding precluded resolution of the detailed nomenclature at this time. Nonetheless, the boundaries provided in this document provide a reasonable starting point for initial conceptual design work.
3.0 SCOPE
The scope of information provided within this document pertains to the current AREVA-NP reference baseline design (Reference 1) for the NGNP project NHS systems. The NHS is considered to be limited to the primary (aka main) loop heat transport system and the secondary loop up to the first isolation valve from the steam generator and the first dump valve of the Steam/Water Dump System. The scope of this document does not include a detailed description of each of the NHS systems required for the NHS. A brief overview of each system will be provided sufficient to describe the system. The figures provided describe a NGNP general case and may not depict the exact details of a still immature AREVA-NP NGNP reference design. The accuracy of the component depictions does not affect the purpose of this document. A table will be provided for each system listing the boundaries and interfaces.
4.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to define the boundaries between the NHS systems required for the operation of the NHS and identify interfaces between those NHS systems. Where applicable, the boundary or interface will be described by the component or physical location on which the boundary or interface resides.

5.0 APPROACH
The systems which make up the NHS are listed in Section 8.0. A brief description is provided for each system that is meant to be generic as possible to provide flexibility as the plant design is refined. Specific components of the system are listed where needed to describe the system or interfaces of the system. The physical boundaries of each system are listed with the system name with which they bound. Specific interface points between systems that effect analysis or design are provided. Interface points may coincide with or help define boundaries but are not limited to physical boundaries. Five different interface categories are considered: physical, heat transfer, electrical & control, thermal hydraulic, and radiological. Thermal hydraulic is used to describe all heat balance and fluid flow considerations.
Two systems that are not part of the NHS are listed as boundaries. Those are Site & Civil Works (building structure) and Power Conversion System (secondary coolant loop).
6.0 ASSUMPTIONS
No assumptions were made in preparation of this document.
7.0 DESIGN INPUTS
None.
8.0 NUCLEAR HEAT SOURCE DESCRIPTION
The nuclear heat source is comprised of a graphite moderated nuclear reactor and heat transport system encased in pressure retaining vessels forming the main coolant loop. The reactor heats helium which is circulated through a steam generator where the heat is transferred to a secondary loop. The reactor core and the steam generator are located in separate pressure vessels connected together by a cross vessel. The heat generated from the reactor is transferred to the secondary loop to form steam. This steam can be used to drive an electrical generator via a steam turbine, used as process heat, or both. For the purpose of this document, the secondary loop is only considered up to the isolation valve. All auxiliary systems required for the function of the nuclear heat source systems such as controls, NIHVAC, refueling, etc. are included.
8.1 REACTOR SYSTEM
The purpose of the Reactor System is to generate heat for the power plant. The reactor is a prismatic block configuration; see Figures 8.1-1 and 8.1-2. The reference design is a graphite moderated helium cooled reactor. It is comprised of stacks of hexagonally shaped graphite blocks, see Figure 8.1-3. The blocks containing fissile material form a cylinder as shown in Figure 8.1-1 and are surrounded by reflector blocks, which contain no fissile material along the ID, OD, top and bottom. The stack is contained radially within a metallic core barrel. The reactor core rests atop a graphite core support assembly supported in turn by a metallic core support assembly. The reactor is controlled by neutron control equipment (neutron control and flux detection assemblies) which is considered part of the Reactor System. The Reactor System is considered to include all items contained within the reactor vessel, excluding the SCS circulator, SCS heat exchanger, and hot duct, up to the connection to the hot duct. The Reactor System also includes the reactor supports and reactor control elements. The reactor control elements include the neutron detectors that are external to the reactor vessel. See Table 8.1-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.2 VESSEL SYSTEM
The Vessel System is considered to be all major components that retain the primary coolant during operation and their structural supports. Their primary function is pressure retention of the primary coolant. The boundary of the Vessel System supports is the structural embed plate with which they are connected to. Piping for instrumentation, helium purification, etc. are not included in the vessel system. The boundary with these system connections is the vessel nozzle with which they connect.
The primary components that make up the Vessel System are the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), steam generator (SG) vessel, and the cross over vessel, see Figure 8.2-1. Other components of the system are the main and shutdown circulator housings, the neutron control assembly (NCA) housings, pressure relief valve and associated vent, and the supports for these vessels. The supports and pressure relief valve are not shown in the Figure below. See Table 8.2-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.3 MAIN HEAT TRANSPORT SYSTEM
The main function of the Main Heat Transport System (MHTS) is to transfer heat from the reactor core to the secondary loop heat transfer system. The heat transfer fluid, helium, flows downward through the reactor core and out through the hot duct, see Figure 8.3-1. It flows from the hot duct into the SG upper plenum and is channeled over the SG tubes via the inner and outer shroud. After flowing across the SG tubes, the cooled helium flows along the annulus formed by the SG vessel and the outer shroud up to the main circulator. The main circulator forces the cooled helium through the annulus formed by the hot duct and the cross vessel. It then flows upward along the core barrel where it turns direction in the upper reactor plenum and flows back down into the reactor core. The flow path remains the same for each loop. There is a check valve just upstream of the circulator to prevent unwanted helium circulation. The major components of the Main Heat Transport System are the hot duct, steam generator, main helium circulator with check valve, all items such as the plenums that direct helium flow through the steam generator vessel, and supports for the items listed. The physical boundary of the system is the interface between supports and the permanently affixed features of the pressure containing vessel. See Table 8.3-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.4 SHUTDOWN COOLING SYSTEM
The purpose of the Shutdown Cooling System (SCS) is to remove heat from the reactor core during shutdown and when the MHTS is not working. This system consists of the shutdown cooling circulator, the shutdown cooling secondary heat removal loop, and the Shutdown Cooling System controls. The primary coolant (helium) is pulled through a heat exchanger by the SCS circulator where heat is rejected to the shutdown cooling water system (SCWS) and expelled to the atmosphere via a second heat exchanger. The SCWS consists of a dedicated self-contained loop for each reactor module. The SCS circulator contains a normally closed shut off valve similar to the check valve used in the main helium circulator. See Figure 8.4-1 below. See Table 8.4-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.5 REACTOR CAVITY COOLING SYSTEM
The Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) performs two functions. It keeps the concrete of the reactor cavity within allowable limits and removes decay heat from the reactor core when neither the MHTS nor the SCS are working.
The cavity walls and floor are lined with water panels that form an air to water heat exchanger. The heated water in the chambers flow to a water storage tank and is constantly replaced by cooler water. There are two separate complete systems planned for each reactor cavity. The water in each storage tank is cooled by a dedicated cooling system. In the event that the dedicated tank cooling system is not functioning, the cavity cooling system rejects heat by vaporizing the water in the holding tanks.
When neither the MHTS nor the SCS are working, decay heat form the core is removed by conduction through the outer graphite reflectors and by radiation and natural convection from the un-insulated portions of the RPV to the water chambers lining the cavity walls and floor. The heat is then removed as described above. For the purpose of this discussion, the un-insulated portion of the RPV is the cylindrical segment between the upper and lower head. See Table 8.5-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.6 FUEL HANDLING SYSTEM
The purpose of the Fuel Handling System is to replace used fuel and reflector elements within the reactor core. First, new fuel and reflector elements are moved to the fuel storage wells, see Figure 8.6-2. Then, the used elements are un-stacked from the core and placed into the storage well one sector at a time. Each element is grappled by the fuel handling machine using a handling feature like that shown in Figure 8.6-1. The element is then transferred vertically from the core through the vessel NCA openings. The fuel is then transferred to fuel transfer equipment which transports the elements to the fuel storage wells. The spent fuel and reflector elements are sent for processing in the Spent Fuel Storage and Cooling System. The process is then reversed to restack the partially spent elements using new elements where needed. See Table 8.6-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.7 SPENT FUEL STORAGE AND COOLING SYSTEM
This system receives the irradiated fuel and reflector elements from the reactor core, packages them into containers, and provides intermediate storage until they are shipped off. The elements are removed from the core and placed into the fuel storage wells as described in Section 8.6. The spent elements are transferred to the fuel canning facility where they are sealed into containers. The containers will then be relocated to a spent fuel cooling facility where it will be stored until their decay heat has decreased to the point that they can be safely loaded into large capacity shipping and storage cask. The spent fuel elements are stored in tubes surrounded by water to remove the decay heat. The cooling water used for decay heat removal is part of the NI Cooling Water System. As an option, a long term dry cask storage facility could be added to store the shipping and storage casks on site. This option could be added at a later date. See Table 8.7-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.9 HELIUM SERVICE SYSTEM
The Helium Service System purifies the primary coolant and maintains the correct coolant chemistry. The recycled coolant is compressed and transferred to helium storage tanks. The system helps control primary coolant pressure and replaces small quantities of helium lost to leakage. The helium is returned back into the system as a purge gas at specific points of the Main Heat Transport System. The purification system components can be modular to allow real time repair and replacement. See Table 8.9-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.10 NI HVAC SYSTEM
The Nuclear Island Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning System (NIHVAC) is responsible for the overall HVAC of the NI. It is composed of several discrete systems for different areas including clean and potentially contaminated areas. The system is made up of conventional industrial equipment. The system will also help remove contamination from the air. The systems shall be designed to maintain appropriate temperatures for personnel and equipment. See Table 8.10-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.11 PLANT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The Plant Electrical System (PES) consists of four subsystems, the plant AC electrical system (PACS), the Plant Essential AC Electrical System (EACS), Plant DC Electrical System (PDCS), and Plant Essential DC Electrical System (EDCS). The PES boundaries are the low voltage bushings of the unit transformers and the high voltage bushings of the unit startup auxiliary transformers. See Table 8.11-1 for boundaries and interfaces.
Major distribution equipment of the PACS include the unit and startup auxiliary transformers, isolated phase bus duct, switchgear, unit substations, motor control centers, and distribution panel boards. The components are located as close to the point of utilization as possible.
When the plant is on-line, the normal source of power is the unit generator. When the plant is shut down or the normal power source is unavailable, power is delivered from offsite via the switchyard and is capable of starting and running all normal and essential loads.
The Plant AC Electrical System (PACS) delivers power generated by the plant offsite to the transmission network through the unit transformer(s) and receives power from the network through the unit startup auxiliary transformer(s).
The Essential AC Electrical System (EACS) includes a plant uninterruptible power (PUP) supply with capacity to supply all control, instrumentation, and plant protection AC loads which must not lose power via redundant channels. There is one PUP per unit and is powered by a dedicated essential DC electrical system. The PACS supplies emergency AC/DC lighting for all areas needed for safe shutdown and fire fighting and access/egress routes thereto. The EACS supplies emergency AC lighting for the control room.
The Plant DC Electrical System (PDCS) supplies DC voltage to the plant control and instrumentation loads. The system includes storage batteries, battery chargers, and distribution switchgear.
The Essential DC Electrical System (EDCS) supplies DC voltage to the “Safety Related” DC plant loads. The system includes storage batteries, battery chargers, and distribution switchgear. The EDCS power supply is fully independent of other modules.

8.14 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM
The Reactor Protection System (RPS) is the system that ensures that off-site radiological dose rates do not exceed allowable limits. Each reactor module has an independent RPS. The RPS is designed to operate automatically but can be initiated by an operator. See Table 8.14-1 for boundaries and interfaces. This system performs the following functions:
� Reactor trip utilizing the control rods, which initiate rapid reduction in reactor power following reactivity excursions or loss of core cooling.
� Reactor trip utilizing the reserve shutdown control equipment, which acts as a diverse reactor trip system and as additional protection against reactivity excursions caused by water ingress.
� In the event of a steam generator leak into the primary coolant, the main coolant loop is shutdown and the main steam line is isolated. This acts to isolate the steam generator and trip the main helium circulator to limit water ingress into the core and other vulnerable components on the Vessel, Reactor, and Main Heat Transport Systems.

8.15 NHS INVESTMENT PROTECTION SYSTEM
The NHS Investment Protection System (IPS) is designed to limit damage to plant equipment during upsets and events. There is likely one IPS for each reactor module. Like the RPS, the IPS is designed to operate automatically but can be initiated by an operator. See Table 8.15-1 for boundaries and interfaces. The types of functions this system will perform are:
� Steam generator isolation and steam/water dump which limits the quantity of water that can leak into the core and the resulting chemical attack on reactor components.
� Primary coolant pump down, which limits the release of primary coolant and the thermal cycling of reactor components.
� Shutdown Cooling System initiation, which starts the Shutdown Cooling System upon loss of primary coolant , thus reducing thermal cycling of large components.
� Startup control rod insertion at reactor shutdown event.
The IPS may also provide the following investment related plant monitoring functions:
� The Vessel System pressure relief valve closure interlock
� Safety related equipment status and RPS channel readout information displays
� Investment protection equipment status and channel readout information displays
� Post accident monitoring information and displays
� Monitoring to facilitate post transient plant restart
� Helium leak monitoring
� A continuous, dedicated display of a minimum set of plant parameters or derived variables that may be used by the operator during all plant conditions to access plant safety status.

8.16 NHS CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEM
The NHS Control and Monitoring System (NCMS) provides direct interface to all plant actuators and sensors to perform plant control functions within the Nuclear Island (NI) and the Power Conversion System (PCS). Plant level load allocation is performed by the NCMS. Each reactor module can be controlled independently. See Table 8.16-1 for boundaries and interfaces.

8.17 CONTROL ROOM AND OPERATOR INTERFACE SYSTEM
The purpose of the Control Room and Operator Interface System (CROIS) is to provide a means for the operator to monitor and control the plant. This system provides the operator with information from the NCMS, IPS, and RPS systems. Similarly, the CROIS allows the operator to transmit instructions to NCMS, IPS, and RPS controllers or directly to individual actuators.

The interface point for connection to these systems is the distribution panel.
8.18 RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM
The Radioactive Waste and Decontamination System provides a means of managing and where possible, decontamination of all radioactive waste generated within the plant. See Table 8.18-1 for boundaries and interfaces.
All potentially radioactive gas generated in the reactor plant is collected. Gases with low levels of radioactivity may be stored allowing for activity decay to allowable levels prior to release; otherwise, the gasses are processed by the system.
All potentially radioactive liquids are captured and treated based upon the liquid type and the expected level of contamination. Liquids may be treated and prepared for disposal, treated and recycled for use in the plant, or treated and released to the environment.
All potentially radioactive solid waste generated within the reactor plant are captured and treated in this facility except used fuel elements. Compactable items are compacted and made ready for shipment. Liquefied waste are treated and solidified where necessary.
The decontamination services provides the facility and tools required for general decontamination of equipment and components used within the reactor plant.

8.19 STEAM/WATER DUMP SYSTEM
The STEAM/WATER Dump System is capable of emptying the steam generator’s steam/water inventory in the event of a leak which results in moisture ingress to the primary coolant. It can also be used to drain the steam generator to perform maintenance. The system consists of a redundant valve train connected to the main feedwater line between the SG and the feedwater line isolation valve, see Figure 8.19-1. The boundary of this system is the pipe connection of the first dump valve off of the feedwater line. See Table 8.19-1 for boundaries and interfaces.
