REACTOR TRIP CAUSE BY A HI-HI LEVEL CONDITION IN STEAM GENERATOR
"While replacing a feedwater transmitter, digital feedwater control for CFPT (condensate feedwater pump turbines) and all 4 S/G (steam generators) went to manual. The corresponding feedwater swing caused a Hi-Hi level condition in 1B S/G which resulted in a turbine trip, subsequent reactor trip and auxiliary feedwater auto start. All systems functioned normally." All rods fully inserted and auxiliary feedwater pumps operated properly.
The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector.
