The signal was received based upon a valid main condenser low vacuum signal coincident with reactor mode switch placed in RUN position. The isolation was an unanticipated result of a special purpose procedure which was being performed as a functional test for maintenance work that had been performed on intermediate range nuclear instrumentation. The procedure had installed jumpers to bypass the Group 1 isolation for Mode Switch in Run, but did not account for low condenser vacuum isolation. The low condenser vacuum switches were in the bypass position, but this logic does not prevent Group 1 isolation in the Run mode. The Group 1 isolation was completed successfully with all MSIVs and small bore valves closing as designed. MSIV closure with Mode Switch in Run position also caused a RPS actuation / full scram. The reactor was subcritical and all control rods were already fully inserted as the reactor was being maintained in Cold Shutdown.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.e has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. +
