| Title | Manual Reactor Trip After Partial Msiv Closure |
| Event Description | At 0820 EST on 11/23/2015, Sequoyah Unit 1 was at 100% power when operators identified the Loop #3 Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) came off its full open seat. This was evidenced by no OPEN indication on the main control board, dual indication on the post accident monitoring panel, and a change in both Tavg and steam pressure. Operators were dispatched locally to the MSIV and to the battery board room to investigate if a cause could be identified for the MSIV movement. The field investigation identified no issues. The operating crew manually tripped the reactor at 0844 EST due to an increasing Tavg-Tref mismatch.
Following the reactor trip, all safety-related equipment operated as designed. Auxiliary Feedwater automatically initiated as expected from the feedwater isolation signal. Unit 1 is currently being maintained in Mode 3 at normal operating temperature and pressure, approximately 547 degrees F and 2235 psig, with auxiliary feedwater supplying the steam generators and decay heat removal via the condenser steam dumps. There is no indication of any primary to secondary leakage. All control rods fully inserted on the reactor trip and remain inserted. The electrical alignment is normal with shutdown power supplied from off-site power. There is no operational impact to Unit 2 as it continues through the refueling outage with the core off-loaded. There was no impact on public health and safety. Post-trip investigation is in progress and planned restart timeline has not yet been determined. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. All control rods fully inserted during the reactor trip. The atmospheric steam dumps did operate during the transient and then shut. After the trip, the MSIV re-opened. |

[Table view]10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), RPS System Actuation on 5/24/21 at 0916 Edt, an Automatic Reactor Trip on Unit 1 Occurred. All Safety Systems Responded Normally and the Plant Is Currently Stable in Mode 3 (Hot Standby) at Normal Operating Temperature and Pressure. Preliminary Indications Are That the Unit Trip Was Caused by a High Neutron Flux Rate Detected by the Power Range Nuclear Instruments. Troubleshooting and Investigation Are Ongoing to Determine the Initiating Cause.
