The licensee discovered that the High PresThe licensee discovered that the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) system flow control loop was degraded in such a manner that HPCI would not perform its safety function. The HPCI loop flow indicator indicated 200 GPM with no flow in the loop. The specification for that parameter is <100GPM. With the flow indicator in this condition the HPCI flow controller would perform non-conservatively (less flow into the system than was demanded), and would not perform its intended safety function therefore rendering HPCI inoperable.</br>The licensee declared HPCI inoperable and in accordance with Technical Specification 3.5.E.2 entered a 14 day LCO.
