On December 10, 2006, at 1608 PST, operato … On December 10, 2006, at 1608 PST, operators manually tripped the reactor while it was subcritical. This is an 8 hour notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) for actuation of the reactor protection system while subcritical. On December 10, 2006, with Unit 2 operating in Mode 1 at 100% power, operators initiated an unplanned reactor shutdown due to indications of increasing stator temperature on reactor coolant pump 2-2. In accordance with plant procedures, when the reactor coolant pump stator temperature reached 300 degrees Fahrenheit, operators manually tripped the reactor and tripped the coolant pump 2-2. The reactor was subcritical at the time of the reactor trip but all rods had not been fully inserted. </br>All control rods fully inserted in response to the reactor trip and all systems functioned as required. The auxiliary feedwater system was already in service as part of the shutdown. The grid is stable and with the exception of RCP 2-2, all major equipment including the 3 emergency diesel generators remain operable. Unit 2 electrical loads are being supplied by the normal startup power. The other 3 RCPs are maintaining forced circulation of the reactor coolant system. Investigations into the high RCP stator temperature are ongoing, the unit will remain in Mode 3 pending the results of these investigations. An estimated restart date is not known at this time.
