During this shiftily verification of control blade operability, all blades were initially verified operable. However, when banking the control blades to their final position after all blades were satisfactorily tested a few seconds earlier, shim control blade 'A' would not move in the inward direction. The LSRO then immediately shut down the reactor by initiating a manual scram by placing the Master Control Switch 1S1 to the 'TEST' position.
