During a review of outage clearances, it was discovered that a Caution tag out for Service Air to the Drywell was active and the valves were open. This rendered the valves
inoperable and
Technical Specification 3.6.1.3 action B for one
penetration with two
inoperable PCIVs was entered. The action was to isolate the
penetration by closing one valve within one hour. The event was discovered at 0530 and the outboard valve was closed at 0655 . Since the one hour time limit was exceeded,
