The trip was initiated due to a loss all number 3 Feedwater Heater Drain Tank pump flow; plant procedures directed a manual reactor trip if power is greater than 80 percent. The Auxiliary Feedwater System (AFW) automatically actuated as required when the expected post trip feedwater isolation actuation actuated. Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature is being maintained by the steam dump system with all 4 Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) in service. All control and shutdown rods fully inserted. All safety systems responded as designed. No primary or secondary safety valves actuated during or after the transient. Unit 2 is currently stable at normal operating temperature and normal operating pressure in Mode 3. The electrical system is in a normal alignment. There was no impact on U1. There was no impact to the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. Due to the Reactor Protection System (RPS) actuation while critical, this event is being reported as a four hour, non-emergency notification per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) and an 8 hour non-emergency notification accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that results in a valid actuation of the AFW system.
