| Title | Automatic Reactor/Turbine Trip |
| Event Description | At 1043 EDT on 7/27/2015, Sequoyah Unit 1 was at 82% power and continuing to perform a startup when the reactor/turbine automatically tripped.
Following the reactor trip, all safety-related equipment operated as designed. Auxiliary Feedwater automatically initiated as expected from the Feedwater Isolation Signal. Unit 1 is currently being maintained in Mode 3, at NOT/NOP [normal operating temperature and normal operating pressure], approximately 545 F and 2235 psig, with auxiliary feedwater supplying the steam generators and decay heat removal via the condenser steam dumps. The immediate cause of the trip was an electrically-induced turbine trip. Due to fluctuating voltage the main generator voltage regulator was taken to manual; immediately after this the unit tripped. Current Temperature and Pressure - Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature is 545 degrees F and stable and RCS pressure is 2235 psig and stable. There is no indication of any primary/secondary leakage. All rods fully inserted on the reactor trip and remain inserted. The electrical alignment is normal with shutdown power supplied from off-site power. There is no operational impact to Unit 2. Unit 2 continues to operate in Mode 1 at 100%. There was no impact on public health and safety. Post-trip investigation is in progress and planned restart timeline has not yet been determined. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |

[Table view]10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), RPS System Actuation on 5/24/21 at 0916 Edt, an Automatic Reactor Trip on Unit 1 Occurred. All Safety Systems Responded Normally and the Plant Is Currently Stable in Mode 3 (Hot Standby) at Normal Operating Temperature and Pressure. Preliminary Indications Are That the Unit Trip Was Caused by a High Neutron Flux Rate Detected by the Power Range Nuclear Instruments. Troubleshooting and Investigation Are Ongoing to Determine the Initiating Cause.
