Due to failure of Service Water from RCP MDue to failure of Service Water from RCP Motor Air Cooler valve MOV3134 to stroke satisfactorily during scheduled surveillance testing, (the licensee) entered TS 3.6.3 Condition A for Containment Isolation Valves. MOV3134 did not indicate full closed by remote indication in the Control Room when time-stroked at 0119, 8/14/10. Consequently, the isolation valve inside containment, MOV3131, was closed and deenergized to provide containment isolation. This isolated a source of Service Water cooling for containment, and the average temperature of containment started trending up from 117.5F at 0000, 8/14/10. At 1400, 8/14/10, containment average temperature exceeded 120F and entry into TS 3.6.5 Condition A was required. At 2200, 8/14/10, containment average temperature had not been restored to (less than or equal to) 120F, and TS 3.6.5 Condition B was entered. To ensure compliance with TS 3.6.5 Condition B, a ramp down to MODE 3 was initiated at 0045, 8/15/10.</br>At 0057, 8/15/10, the NRC authorized enforcement discretion for Farley Nuclear Plant Unit 1 with regard to LCO 3.6.5 and containment temperature in excess of 120F. The ramp down was halted and power stabilized at 96% Rx power. The enforcement discretion duration is 18 hours starting from 2200, 8/14/10. There were two stipulations on the discretion:</br>1.
