| Title | Valid Actuation of the Reactor Protection System During Testing |
| Event Description | At 1012 EDT on April 26, 2012, during the Reactor Pressure Vessel Hydrostatic Test, a valid high pressure reactor scram occurred due to issues related to controlling pressure near rated values. This actuation of the Reactor Protection System was not part of the pre-planned testing sequence. All control rods were fully inserted at the time of the scram. This report is being made in accordance with 10CFR50.72 (b)(3)(iv)(A), 'Any event or condition that results in valid actuation of any of the systems listed except when the actuation results from and is part of a pre-planned sequence during testing or reactor operation.' The reactor scram was reset after reactor pressure was lowered.
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
