| Title | Manual Reactor Trip |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
At 2020 CDT [on 9/14/2025], [Comanche Peak] Unit 2 reactor was manually tripped due to a malfunction of the electro-hydraulic control (EHC) system on the main turbine. All auxiliary feedwater pumps started due to steam generator `Lo-Lo' levels post trip. This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) for a reactor trip and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) for an actuation of auxiliary feedwater. Unit 2 is being maintained in hot standby (mode 3) in accordance with integrated plant operating procedures. Decay heat is being rejected to the main condenser via the steam dump valves." The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: Unit 1 was not affected. The cause of the malfunction of EHC is unknown and under investigation. All rods fully inserted upon the reactor being tripped. |
