| event text = On Friday November 21, 2003, the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station was performing rod position testing in preparation for plant start-up, following refueling outage-14. The testing is in accordance with STP-106.002 Rod Position Indication Operational Test. Control Bank 'C' was being withdrawn. Per STP-106.002, RCS boron concentration was verified adequate to ensure Keff less than or equal to 0.95. When Control Bank 'C' reached 36 steps Digital Rod Position Indication system (DRPI) indication for rod M-4 went to 18 steps. At 0835, Control Rod motion was stopped and Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP)-403.5, Stuck or Misaligned Control Rod, was entered after reviewing the AOP applicability versus current plant condition. At 0910 while taking action per the AOP, it was determined that both channels of DRPI were not functioning properly and per Tech Spec 3.10.5 the Rx Trip Breakers were immediately opened (manual actuation of the Reactor Protection System - reactor scram). Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP)-1.0, Reactor Trip, was entered. At 0915 EOP-1.0, was exited with the plant stable in Mode 3 (Hot Standby). | | event text = On Friday November 21, 2003, the V.C.
