On December 2, 2013, at approximately 1758 Mountain Standard Time (MST), the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) Unit 2 control room received reactor protection system alarms for low departure from nucleate boiling ratio and an automatic reactor trip occurred. Prior to the reactor trip, Unit 2 was operating normally at 100% power. Plant operators entered the emergency operations procedures and diagnosed an uncomplicated reactor trip but noted the 1A reactor coolant pump (RCP) was not running. All CEAs fully inserted into the core. Following the reactor trip, indications on the train A logarithmic (log) power nuclear instrument initially responded normally but then did not trend as expected. All other nuclear instruments responded normally and the train A log power channel was declared inoperable and technical specification limiting conditions for operation 3.3.10 and 3.3.11 were entered. No emergency classification was required per the PVNGS Emergency Plan. | On December 2, 2013, at approximately 1758 Mountain Standard Time (MST), the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) Unit 2 control room received reactor protection system alarms for low departure from nucleate boiling ratio and an automatic reactor trip occurred.
