During plant shutdown to begin a scheduled … During plant shutdown to begin a scheduled refueling outage, with the plant at 0% power in Mode 3, an actuation of the reactor trip system (RTS) occurred when a steam generator (S/G) Low-Low water level trip inadvertently occurred during recovery from a feedwater isolation actuation that had previously occurred in response to a steam generator high water level trip condition. </br>At approximately 0500 hours, plant operators were closing the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) for plant shutdown.

Shortly after the ASD was opened, the MSIV was also opened.
