The 'B' Safety Relief Valve is credited for Remote Shutdown. The as-found condition of inadequate torque potentially impacts the seismic qualification of the 'B' SRV.</br>An investigation and extent of condition review is ongoing. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.</br>Before the outage, there were no abnormal indications of leakage as indicated by a rise in drywell temperature or pressure. The SRVs had been cycled under pressure with no abnormal indications. </br>The four bolts that were tight were in a diagonal pattern. The looses bolts were described as "finger tight."
