At 1315 hours on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, wiAt 1315 hours on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, with the Reactor Mode Select Switch in Startup, the Reactor Protection System (RPS) actuated due to a valid Hi-Hi trip signal from the Intermediate Range Monitors (IRMs) of the Neutron Monitoring System. At the time of the RPS actuation, reactor thermal power was four (4)% and control rods were being withdrawn as part of a planned reactor startup from a refueling outage. The RPS actuation signal resulted in a reactor scram. The IRMs were in range 7 when the scram occurred.</br>All control rods automatically inserted in accordance with design. No other ESF actuation signals were generated. The reactor scram was not part of pre-planned test or reactor operation. The cause of the Hi-Hi IRM trip signal is under investigation.</br>This event had no impact on the health and/or safety of the public.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC Senior Resident Inspector.</br>This 4-hour notification is being made in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B).</br>The unit is in a normal post trip electrical alignment. Decay heat is being removed via the main steam line drains to the main condenser.</br>The licensee will notify the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.  +
