Per the licensees Technical Specifications (TS) 6.1.3.a, "The minimum staffing when the reactor is not secured shall be: . A reactor operator or the senior reactor operator on duty in the control room. On May 7, 2024, following the reactor shutdown, there was an indication that one control rod was not fully inserted. Both the reactor operator and reactor engineer left the control room to investigate and discovered that one control rod was not fully inserted. The reactor operator leaving the control room violated the minimum control room staffing requirements of TS 6.1.3.a.
