Title | Reactor Protection System Actuation While Shutdown |
Event Description | On Sunday, February 20, 2011, at 1034 EST with the reactor shutdown and all control rods fully inserted a valid Reactor Protection System (RPS) low reactor water initiation signal (+12 inch) was received. The RPS actuation signal resulted in reactor scram and actuation of the Primary Containment Isolation Systems for Group II - Primary Containment Isolation and Reactor Building Isolation System (RBIS), and Group VI - Reactor Water Cleanup System (RWCU). At the time of the event, a controlled reactor shutdown and cooldown was in progress. The Reactor Mode Selector Switch was in 'Startup' and a cooldown was being controlled using the Mechanical Hydraulic Control (MHC) System. Initial event review indicates that the turbine by-pass valve controlling the cooldown closed causing a 'shrink' on indicated reactor water level to briefly lower to +12 inches (lowest observed water level).
Reactor water level was immediately restored, the isolations (Group II and VI) were reset, and the RPS signal was reset at 1135 EST. All systems operated as expected, in accordance with design. This event had no impact on the health and/or safety of the public. The US NRC Senior Resident Inspector was in the Main Control Room at the time of the event. The licensee will be notifying the State. |
