| event text = In accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), this notification reports an automatic reactor trip on Byron Unit 1.  The trip occurred following a trip of the Byron Unit 1 East Main Power Transformer (MPT).  Initial indications appear that the MPT trip was caused by a large (~ 5 foot) section of ice that fell from a bus bar over the 1E MPT.  This ice shorted out a MPT bushing, resulting in the unit trip.  Reactor operators performed a manual start of the Auxiliary Feedwater System in response to the unit trip.  All other safety systems responded as expected.
