Title	Automatic Reactor Trip
Event Description	At 0943 EDT on August 22, 2018, the Watts Bar Unit 2 reactor automatically tripped while operating at 100 percent power. All control and shutdown bank rods inserted properly in response to the automatic reactor trip. All safety systems including Auxiliary Feedwater actuated as designed. The plant is stable with decay heat removal through Auxiliary Feedwater and Steam Dump Systems. The reactor automatically tripped due to a main turbine trip signal. An investigation is in progress. The automatic actuation of the Reactor Protection System (RPS) is being reported as a four-hour report under 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(2)(iv)(B). The expected actuation of the Auxiliary Feedwater System (an engineered safety feature) is being reported as an eight-hour report under 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(iv)(A). The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified for this event.
