The Circulating Water System is a subsystem within the Heat Rejection Group (HRG). The Circulating Water System consists of two independent loops to remove waste heat from the turbine building closed cooling water system and from the condensers associated with each turbine generator set. In normal plant operation circulating water is pumped from the cooling tower basin through the condensers and heat exchangers and back to the cooling tower where the waste heat is released to the atmosphere via mechanical draft cooling towers. The system consists of two flow paths with two half-size, vertical pumps associated with each path
