fl We conducted an additional review of the actions necessary for local operation of Valve 2E1 1-FO1 5A. This included an onsite inspection to observe a walk through by an operator of manual operation of the valve as well as a review of supporting procedures.
We noted from the walk through, that the assigned operator was able to position himself so as to be able to operate the valve. In addition, since operation of this valve is required for cold shutdown, we concluded that additional time is available to compensate for the impacts from the environmental conditions and physical constraints. If necessary, this could include providing additional time to assign other operators to assist in opening the valve or allowing the assigned operator time to rest. Further, we noted that your personnel safety procedures provide adequate guidance to minimize the likelihood of personnel injury in the event that the assigned operator loses his footing while operating the valve. Hence, the NRC concluded that no special additional procedure or preparations were required to support operation of Valve 2E1 1-FO15A. NCV 50-366/03-06-03 is withdrawn.
