| event text = On September 28, 2007, while reducing power for a planned refueling outage with the reactor at approximately 30 percent power in MODE 1, an unplanned actuation of the reactor protection system occurred. At 2232 a fault pressure trip signal was received on the A Startup Transformer (SUT), causing a loss of power to Aux Buses D, A & C electrical buses as well as the A-SA safety bus. The loss of A & C buses initiated the RCP underfrequency trip which tripped the Reactor and all three RCPs as designed. The A Diesel Generator automatically started and reenergized bus A-SA as designed. The auxiliary feedwater system actuated as expected due to undervoltage on the A-SA safety bus and loss of the main feedwater pumps. All control rods inserted on the reactor trip. The operations staff responded to the event in accordance with applicable plant procedures. The plant stabilized at normal operating no-load reactor coolant system temperature and pressure following the reactor trip. Steam generator water levels are being maintained using auxiliary feedwater. All emergency core cooling system equipment is available. The plant electrical system is being restored at this time. The A SUT remains out of service. The cause of the loss of power from A SUT is under investigation. | | event text = On September 28, 2007, while reducing power for a planned refueling outage with the reactor at approximately 30 percent power in MODE 1, an unplanned actuation of the reactor protection system occurred.
