At 2205 (EST) with Unit 2 at 68 percent power, a feedwater control valve failed to properly control feedwater flow to the 2A Steam Generator and the Integrated Control System initiated an automatic runback. At 2207 (EST), the reactor was manually tripped from 39 percent power due to lowering water level in the 2A Steam Generator. Immediately following the manual reactor trip, an actuation of the Emergency Feedwater System (EFW) occurred. The 2A and 2B Motor Driven Emergency Feedwater (MDEFW) pumps automatically started as designed when the 'low steam generator level' signal was received for the 2A Steam Generator. The trip was not complex with all systems responding normally post-trip. Operators responded and stabilized the plant.
