| Title | Malfunctioning Valve Leads to a Loss of Defense in Depth |
| Event Description | During a performance of temporary operating procedure on a laser optical device, it was identified that one of two valves used to isolate the device failed to operate. The valves are operated as a pair and the valves are redundant to provide defense in depth. One valve shut as expected. The second valve did not shut.
The valves are identified as an Item Relied on For Safety (IROFS). The system was not operating and one of the valves operated as designed. No unsafe condition existed. Operability of both valves is required to meet the performance requirements of 10CFR70.61. This event is being reported pursuant to the requirements of 10CFR70 Appendix A(b)(2) within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The affected device will remain shutdown pending further investigation and implementation of associated corrective actions. [This event is of] low safety significance - the discovery did not result in an unsafe condition. |
