Subject:
LASALLE UNIT 2 SHUTDOWN GREATER THAN 72 HOURS FOLLOWING A REACTOR SCRAM On August 5, 2014, at 5:34 p.m. CDT, LaSalle Unit 2 automatically scrammed from 100 percent power following the unexpected closure of a main steamline isolation valve located in the drywell. The steamlines carry steam from the reactor to the main turbine to turn the turbine and generate electricity. As designed, with the closure of the one isolation valve, the other seven main steamline valves closed and the reactor automatically scrammed. Plant operators and safety systems responded appropriately to the scram. Because of the licensees need to investigate the cause of the unexpected closure and to conduct the appropriate repairs, the reactor will be shutdown greater than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
