| Title | Automatic Reactor Scram Due to Main Generator Load Reject Signal |
| Event Description | On 5/29/2012 at 0331 [CDT] the Unit 3 reactor scrammed due to turbine control valve fast closure initiated by a load reject signal on the Main Generator. The cause of the load reject signal is Main Transformer differential relay 387T. Reactor power at the time of the SCRAM was approximately 75%. All systems responded as expected to the load reject signal. Main Steam Isolation Valves remained open and reactor pressure is being controlled on the Main Turbine Bypass Valves. No Main Steam Relief Valves lifted during the transient. No Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) or Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) reactor water level initiation setpoints were reached. Primary Containment Isolation Signals (PCIS) Groups 2, 3, 6 and 8 were received. The lowest reactor water level observed was -41 inches. Reactor water level was restored to and is being controlled by the Feedwater system in the normal band.
This event is reportable within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), 'any event or condition that results in actuation of the reactor protection system (RPS) when the reactor is critical except when the actuation results from and is part of a pre-planned sequence during testing or reactor operation.' It is also reportable within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) and requires an LER within 60 days per 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A). This event is documented in the station corrective action program on SR# 557947. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. All control rods inserted into the reactor core. Electrical power is being back fed from offsite power through the 161 KV feeder line. The reactor is being cooled down within the Technical Specification rates. |
