indicating switch so that it could be replaced. 'After the permit
>
was applied, maintenance, personnel tried to dr?.in the water in the switch and went beyond the boundary of the permit.
Subsequently, i
the entire variable leg header was drained, causing the unplanned
'I triple low signal.
The only actions that occurred were a Unit 3 l
high pressure service water (HPSW) pump trip and a loss of shutdown j
