Subject:

LER 2015-008-00, Valid Automatic Actuation of the Reactor Protection System This Licensee Event Report (LER) addresses a valid automatic actuation of the reactor protection system (RPS) during restart from a planned outage. The automatic scram was actuated by a low reactor level condition following an unexpected opening of the main steam bypass valves during reactor heat-up.

This LER is being submitted pursuant to the requirements of 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A).

There are no commitments contained in this letter.

If you have any questions, please contact Robert B. Dickinson at (610) 718-3400.

Previous Similar Occurrences There was no previous RPS actuation due to DEHC BPV control response.

Unit 1 LER 2014-004 was submitted on May 5, 2014 and reported a scram due to a degraded EHC power supply that caused all 6 main turbine intercept valves to close.
