REACTOR TRIP FROM 100% POWER DUE TO TURBINE TRIP
The plant had an auto stop oil pressure trip on the main turbine followed by a reactor trip from 100% power. The plant went into natural circulation for 1 hour at which time the #24 reactor coolant pump was put in service. Auxiliary feedwater was placed in service. Partial offsite power was lost and the three EDG's auto started and powered buses "2A" and "3A". The cause of the trip is being investigated. All rods fully inserted, no ECCS was initiated and no safety relief valves lifted, however, the atmospheric dump valves were opened to vent steam from the system. The plant is stable and in hot shutdown.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.
