Thanks.  Ours is hooked up through a UPS which I supposed to have a
surge protector in it but it does not seem to help.

Subject: Re: Powernet: Dry Cask Criticality Alarm

 

When performing Dry cask do you use a criticality alarm? EF2 - haven't
done dry cask yet, re-fuel floor has installed criticality monitors,
portable ARMS will be used for GA monitors

If you are using the RMS-3 do you ever get false alarms due to power
transients? If so, what have you done to prevent it? EF2 - I'm not aware
of having this problem at EF2. Suggestion - try using power conditioner
or power conditioner / ups, we use these on equipment in areas where AC
power is poor quality

Is there a better alternative to the RMS-3? ????? no recommendation

Browns Ferry is currently having a campaign of dry cask operations. Last
week a power transient caused our RMS-3 to alarm. The refuel floor was
appropriately evacuated until the cause could be determined and surveys
performed. We have gotten an alarm in the past during electrical board
switching and need to find away to prevent the false alarm. The vendor
gave us a few suggestion on modifying the detector and set up but I am
hesitant to try it since it is a piece of safety equipment. 

I have a couple questions: 

When performing Dry cask do you use a criticality alarm?

If you are using the RMS-3 do you ever get false alarms due to power
transients? If so, what have you done to prevent it?

Is there a better alternative to the RMS-3?


Thanks in advance for your time
