| title = Intermediate Range Reactor Scram During Transition to Run
| event text = During Startup of HNP-1, after reaching greater than or equal to 7% RTP [rated thermal power], the crew placed the Reactor MODE switch to 'RUN,' in accordance with the Startup Procedure 34GO-OPS-001-1.  Upon placing the MODE switch to 'RUN,' a full RPS actuation occurred due to upscale trip signals on the Intermediate Range Nuclear Instrumentation (IRM) 1C51K601A, 1C51K601D and 1C51K601H.  Placing the Reactor MODE switch to 'RUN'  bypasses the IRM inputs to the RPS system, so actuation of the RPS from the IRMS was not expected.  All withdrawn control rods inserted properly upon receipt of the full SCRAM signal.  All equipment functioned as expected, with the exception of the unexpected upscale trips of IRMs 1C51K601A, 1C51K601D and 1C51K601H and the subsequent RPS actuation from the IRMs.

No reactivity changes were in progress at the time to cause the upscale trip signals.  At this time, investigation is in progress, but the investigation and corrective action have not yet been completed.
