HPCI and RCIC system initiated on | | low low reactor vessel water level, but did not inject into the reactor due | | to the feedwater system recovering reactor pressure vessel water level.

Later at 0208 EDT, the second pump, 23, | | was declared inoperable because the outboard bearing could not be kept below | | 200�F without the use of city water. City water is not seismically | | qualified leading to the declaration of pump 23 being inoperable. Pump 23 | | is functional and able to provide feedwater.
