HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION SYSTEM DECLARED INOPERABLE
"HPCI [high pressure coolant injection] governor valve did not respond as expected.
"During performance of a planned HPCI valve functional test the HPCI governor valve (FD-FV-4879) did not reposition as expected. The HCPI system has been declared inoperable based on the response per Technical Specification 3.5.1 action C.1. All other emergency core cooling systems and the reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system remain operable. The unit remains at 100% power.
"The station has initiated an event response team to identify and correct the cause of the failure. No personnel injuries resulted from the event.
"The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector and the Lower Alloways Creek Dispatch."
