PVNGS Unit 1 was in Mode 1 (Power Operation) at 99% power with normal RCS temperature and pressure at the time of discovery. A normal reactor shutdown was commenced at 15:35. Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation 3.4.14 (RCS Operational Leakage) allows no pressure boundary leakage and requires the plant to be in Mode 3 (Hot Shutdown) within 6 hours and Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown) within 36 hours and TLCO 3.14.103 (Structural Integrity).</br>The leakage was discovered on a High Pressure Safety Injection Drain Valve (SIA-V056) with is connected to the RCS loop 1 hot leg and is non isolable. The location of the leak is at a weld on the valve socket weld and is estimated at 10 drops per second.</br>No automatic or manual reactor protection system or engineered safety features actuations occurred and none were required. There were no other component failures, testing or work in progress that contributed to the leak. The leak is located within the containment building, therefore there is no release of radioactivity to the environment and no impact to the health and safety of the public. There is no elevated RCS activity and heat removal is via normal steaming to the main turbine condenser, The electric grid is stable.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC resident Inspector.e has notified the NRC resident Inspector.  +
