While starting up the plant following completion of repairs to the 1A reactor coolant pump, an invalid actuation of the 'A' train MSFIS fast close logic occurred due to a random electrical failure in the 'A' train MSFIS logic cabinet. This resulted in the closure of all four Main Steam Isolation Valves and the two 'A' train Economizer Feed Water Isolation Valves. No other engineered safety feature actuations occurred and none were required. The invalid actuation was initiated by a ground fault in a 30-volt direct current power supply in the 'A' train MSFIS Logic cabinet. Repairs were completed on December 12, 2013. </br>This was a complete actuation of 'A' train MSFIS equipment and all the affected equipment responded as designed. RCS temperature and pressure were maintained stable using atmospheric dump valves. Feed water to the steam generators was being provided by Auxiliary Feed Water and was not affected by the event. </br>The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
