REACTOR SCRAM FROM 98% POWER DUE TO LOAD REJECTION
"At 0850 EST [6/1/03] Pilgrim Station received a full reactor scram from 98.5% power from the Main Generator lockout relay tripping. The Main Generator lockout relay caused both 345 KV output breakers to open and caused a load reject scram.
"All systems operated as designed. Received expected alarms and isolations [as follows]: Group 2 C PCIS, Primary Containment Isolations, Reactor Building isolation, Group 6 (Reactor Water clean up isolation). Isolations [were] due to normal post scram level shrink to +2 inches. Isolations occur at +12.
"Preliminary indications are a fault on Unit Aux. Transformer."
All control rods fully inserted. There was no ECCS actuation and the lifted Safety Relief valves seated properly. The unit is currently stable in the hot standby mode of operation.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.
