In preparation for quarterly valve testing … In preparation for quarterly valve testing, the High Pressure Coolant Injection system was declared inoperable and the technical specification required actions were implemented. The system was available for on-line risk. During the testing, the inboard steam isolation valve was stroked closed and reopened and operated properly. The valve was reclosed to continue with valve testing. When an attempt was made to reopen the inboard isolation valve, the valve failed to indicate full open.</br>The system remained inoperable due to the valve malfunction.
