PVNGS UNIT 1 LI.

Potential Problem-Containment sump-isolation valve 1JSIAUV673 could not be opened electrically after being manually closed. The limitorque motor operator failed Lto,open the valve as a result.

of an over-torque condition. The valve operates correctly.

when_not closed manually. This condition was identified during preoperational testing and documented on SFR 15I-723 and NCR SM-4609.

Valves 1JSIAUV674,.1JSIBUV675, and 1JSIBUV676 are. similar valves 'that. perform the same function as the subject _ valve.

They are 24-inch, limitorque motor-operated butterfly valves, manufactured by Posi Seal International and supplied _by Combustion Engineering. These ' valves are required to. open automatically on a recirculation actuation ' signal (RAS). to provide a suction source for the. safety injection pumps. An RAS is initiated on low water level in the refueling water tank during safety injection.

(Reference CESSAR Sections 6.3.2.2.3 and 6.3.5.2.)
