| 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. |
