| REACTOR SCRAM FROM 100% POWER ON A FALSE LOW REACTOR WATER LEVEL INDICATION  |
|                                                                              |
| The Unit experienced an automatic reactor scram when an instrument line      |
| "root" valve failed causing a water leak which resulted in a false low       |
| reactor water level signal indication to be sensed by the RPS.  The water    |
| leak was immediately isolated by the ESF actuation of the Excess Flow Check  |
| Valve in the same reactor instrumentation line.  All rods fully inserted, no |
| ECCS injection occurred,  no relief valves lifted and all safety systems     |
| responded correctly.  The plant also had actuation of the Primary            |
| Containment Isolation System following the reactor scram.                    |
|                                                                              |
| The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified.                                 |
