| REACTOR SCRAM FROM 100% POWER DUE TO A GENERATOR LOAD REJECT FOLLOWED BY |
| TURBINE TRIP. |
| |
| THE UNIT 2 REACTOR SCRAM WAS RECEIVED DUE TO A GENERATOR LOAD REJECT |
| APPARENTLY CAUSED BY A DISTURBANCE ON THE 345 KV SYSTEM. ALL RODS FULLY |
| INSERTED, NO INJECTION INITIATED AND NO SAFETY/RELIEF VALVES LIFTED. THEY |
| ALSO HAD GROUP 2 AND GROUP 3 ISOLATIONS, AS EXPECTED, DUE TO A REACTOR WATER |
| LEVEL LOW SIGNAL FOLLOWING THE REACTOR SCRAM. THE UNIT 2 AND SHARED |
| EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATORS AUTOSTARTED AND RAN UNLOADED AS THE RESULT OF |
| THE AUTOMATIC BUS TRANSFERS. |
| |
| UNIT 1 REMAINS AT 100% POWER WITH ITS RESERVE AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER |
| DE-ENERGIZED AND UNIT 2 IS IN MODE 3 WITH ITS NORMAL WATER LEVEL BAND. THE |
| CAUSE OF THIS EVENT, WHICH PROBABLY OCCURRED OUTSIDE THE YARD, IS STILL |
| BEING INVESTIGATED. |
| |
| THE SECTIONS OF THE RING BUS THAT THEY LOST LEFT UNIT 1 WITHOUT ITS RESERVE |
| AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER, SO IT IS RUNNING OFF ITS AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER. |
| |
| THE NRC RESIDENT INSPECTOR WAS NOTIFIED BY THE LICENSEE. |

| - UNEXPECTED ESF ACTUATION DURING PREPLANNED MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES - |
| |
| At 1212 CDT on 07/18/00, during preplanned maintenance activities on the 'B' |
| standby gas treatment system logic, an unexpected, invalid ESF actuation |
| occurred. Specifically, a planned fuse removal resulted in an unexpected |
| isolation of a containment nitrogen makeup valve and a recirc minipurge |
| valve. All isolations were completed, as designed. The licensee plans to |
| restore all components to their normal positions prior to completing the |
| maintenance activities. |
| |
