EVENT DESCRIPTION AND PROBABLE CONSECUENCES h I o l: lI The Pressurizer Safety Valve Position Indication on valves XVR-8010-A/B/C failed l Lo p l l to function properly during the performance of a Channel Calibration. The Main l lo (4 l l Control Board indication of valve position was received during the sinulatal valve l jol5ll opening; however, the indication did not change once received. There were no l j o j e l l adverse consequences since alternate nethods of monitoring the valve position were l lo;7ll availabls for Operations personnel if the valves had opened while in Itdes 1, 2, j
