At 0249 CDT on 5/22/2012, Unit 3 reactor a … At 0249 CDT on 5/22/2012, Unit 3 reactor automatically scrammed due to de-energization of Reactor Protection System (RPS) from actuation of 3A Unit Station Service Transformer (USST) differential relay 387SA, which resulted in a loss of 500KV power to Unit 3. This relay was picked up during a transfer of 4KV Unit Board 3C from alternate power (161KV) to normal power (3A USST). Investigation is in progress as to the cause of relay actuation. 500KV power was restored through the alternate feeder breakers from 161KV to all Unit 3 4KV Unit Boards successfully. 161KV remained available during the entire event. Loss of 500KV power lasted less than 30 seconds and power has been restored to all safety related boards. All Unit 3 diesel generators successfully started and tied to their respective 4KV Shutdown Boards.</br> </br>All safety systems responded as expected to the loss of 500KV power. No Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) or Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) reactor water level initiation set points were reached. RCIC was manually started to control reactor water level. Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS) and PCIS initiation signals for groups 1, 2, 3, 6 & 8 were received as designed. At the time of the scram, High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) system was tagged out for removal of temporary instrumentation following planned maintenance.</br>This event is reportable within 4 hours per 10CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) 'any event or condition that results in actuation of the reactor protection system (RPS) when the reactor is critical except when the actuation results from and is part of a pre-planned sequence during testing or reactor operation'. It is also reportable within 8 hours per 10CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) and requires an LER within 60 days per 10CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A).</br>The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
