| RHR VALVE AUTOMATICALLY WENT CLOSED INSTEAD OF OPEN DURING TESTING |
| |
| "At 0540 hours CST on 1/9/03 during the performance of QCOS 1000-09 (RHR |
| Power Operated Valve Test), the RHR Injection Valve 2-1001-29A automatically |
| closed upon achieving the full open position. Group II isolation relays for |
| both the 2-1001-29A and 2-1001-29B valves were discovered energized, which |
| would cause these injection valves to close thereby prohibiting the low |
| pressure injection function for both RHR subsystems (note that no Group II |
| isolation signal was present). As such, Technical Specifications 3.5.1 |
| Condition D was entered. The isolation logic relays were reset (deenergized) |
| at 0625 CST and the 2-1001-29A and 2-1001-29B valves were satisfactorily |
| cycled. Technical Specifications 3.5.1 Condition D has been exited. A prompt |
| investigation is in progress. |
| |
| "The notification is being made in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(V)." |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
