Contrary to the above, on April 18, 1988, the maintenance procedure / work instruction authorizing disassembly of Main Steam Isolation Valve MS-124B was not appropriate to the circumstances in that maintenance personnel were applying hydraulic jacks to unseat the valve and the work instruction did not address this activity.
