| BOTH TRAINS OF HIGH PRESSURE INJECTION DECLARED INOPERABLE |
| |
| The licensee, in the process of a routine train swap between the 1B nuclear |
| volume control (NV) pump and the 1A NV pump, the 1B discharge check valve |
| did not fully seat. Flow from the 1A NV pump was being returned through the |
| 1B NV pump to the suction header. This could have affected the capability |
| of both of the NV pumps to perform their required actions in the event that |
| high head injection to the reactor coolant system was needed. Both pumps |
| were declared inoperable at 0658 EDT which made the high head injection |
| system inoperable. The discharge valve on the 1B NV pump was shut at 0710 |
| EDT to restore the 1A NV pump to operable. |
| |
| The method to be used to restore the 1B NV pump to operable is being |
| considered. |
| |
| The licensee intends to notify the NRC Resident Inspector. |
