At 1055 (CDT), drywell purge supply/initia … At 1055 (CDT), drywell purge supply/initial vacuum relief 1E61F003B was declared INOPERABLE for Drywell Vacuum Relief System while performing a monthly surveillance. 1E61F003B is a Division II powered valve. Division 1 Emergency Diesel Generator is INOPERABLE due to a tagout. At 1455, under LCO 3.8.1.B.2 the station declared both divisions of Drywell Vacuum Relief INOPERABLE. GGNS (Grand Gulf Nuclear Station) identified that a loss of Safety Function occurred due to a loss of two 10-inch vacuum relief lines from the Drywell required by Technical Specification 3.6.5.6 and therefore could have prevented fulfillment of its safety function. That event is being reported under 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D), as any event or condition that, at the time of discovery, could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident.</br>Both divisions inoperable has placed the plant in a 72-hr.
