At 1317 hours on 10/11/2013, Unit 1 experi … At 1317 hours on 10/11/2013, Unit 1 experienced an automatic turbine and reactor trip from 48% power. Unit 1 was in the process of increasing power level following a refueling outage when the 1C Station Service Transformer Lockout Relay actuated as the 'C' Condensate Pump was started. The 1C Station Service Transformer Lockout resulted in the turbine trip which subsequently tripped the reactor. All three station service electrical buses transferred to the Reserve Station Service Transformers. The 1C Station Service Transformer does not have any visible exterior damage. All control rods fully inserted into the core following the reactor trip. The actuation of the Reactor Protection System is reportable per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B).</br>The Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps actuated as designed following the trip and provided makeup flow to the steam generators. The steam generator levels were returned to normal operating level and the Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps were returned to automatic. The actuation of the Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps is reportable per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A).</br>Due to low decay heat loads, the Main Steam Trip Valves were closed as the Reactor Coolant Tavg temperature decreased, as directed by the reactor trip response procedure and decay heat is being removed using the atmospheric steam dumps. Decay heat control will be transferred to the main condenser steam dump system. </br>Unit 1 is stable in Mode 3 at normal Reactor Coolant System temperature and pressure. Unit 2 is operating at 100% power and was not affected by this event.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector and the local government.sident Inspector and the local government. +
