Analyrin of occurrence:

jsCp.'..l Both the RCIC and HPCI have an independent valve in the pump flov test piping S,).; y to the tcrus. The valve in the comon return line from both systens is if-Q considered a back-up valve. Failure of this back-up valve to close on either g;fl4 system initiation has minimi cafety significance since the prinary valve would V..

succcasfully stop this flow. This is a normally closed valve which is only M,i:/

open during flov testing of system.
