| Title | Report of Degraded Condition Due to Leaking Valve |
| Event Description | On 3/26/2019 at 1030 CDT Engineering evaluation determined that Traversing lncore Probe (TIP) System test results related to Leak Rate Testing of 2-CKV-76-653, TIP Purge Header Check Valve, during the Unit 2 Refueling Outage resulted in a reportable condition. On 3/24/2019 at 1558 CDT, Leak Rate Testing identified a [local leak rate test] LLRT failure of 2-CKV-76-653. The gross leakage Leak Rate value exceeded the Technical Specification allowable value for Type C valves of less than 0.6 [allowable leakage] La.
This constitutes an 8-hour NRC notification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) - Any event or condition that results in the condition of the nuclear power plant, including its principal safety barriers, being seriously degraded.
