AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP DUE TO CIRCUIT FAULT
On April 1, 2020, at 1625 EDT, Milllstone Unit 3 was in Mode 1, at 100 percent power, when an automatic reactor trip occurred following a main generator trip. The cause was due to a circuit fault between the main generator breaker and the offsite switchyard. The reactor trip was not complicated and the reactor remains stable in Mode 3. One of the two offsite electrical sources remain inoperable with an investigation of the circuit fault underway. Decay heat removal is maintained by the main condenser. There was no effect on Unit 2.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. The licensee notified State and local government agencies.
