Title | Automatic Reactor Scram |
Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via fax and email:
At approximately 0839 [CST] with Unit 1 in Mode 1 at 100 percent power, the reactor automatically scrammed due to the depressurization of the SCRAM air header caused by an invalid signal that [occurred] during system testing. The SCRAM was uncomplicated with all systems responding as expected. The cause and details of the event are under investigation. Containment isolation valves actuated and closed on a valid Group 2 signal. Due to the reactor protection system actuation while critical, this event is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), and an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) for the Group 2 isolation signal. Operations responded using the emergency operating procedure and stabilized the plant in Mode 3. Decay heat is being removed by discharging steam to the main condenser using the turbine bypass valves. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. State as well as Wright and Sherburne Counties will be notified. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: The Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) circuit was being tested when an invalid signal was sent to depressurize the SCRAM air header. |
