Title | Automatic Scram Due to Turbine Trip |
Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
On December 16, 2023, at 0350 CST, Grand Gulf Nuclear Station was operating in mode 1 at 81 percent power when an automatic scram occurred due to a turbine trip signal. Before the scram the unit was performing a rod sequence exchange, and no critical work was underway. The cause of the turbine trip signal is not known at this time and is being investigated. All control rods fully inserted, there were no complications, and all plant systems responded as designed. Reactor water level is being maintained by main feedwater and condensate. Reactor pressure is being maintained with main turbine bypass valves. No radiological releases have occurred due to this event. This event is being reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), as any event or condition that results in actuation of the reactor protection system when the reactor is critical and specified system actuation due to expected reactor water level 3 isolation signals on a reactor scram. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified of this event. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: Group 2 and Group 3 isolations occurred on the Level 3 isolation signal. |
