GROUP II, PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVE (PCIV), ISOLATION FOLLOWING A PLANNED MANUAL REACTOR SCRAM
The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the licensee:
"A Group II PCIV isolation (setpoint +3.0 inches) occurred at 15:41 on 11/06/00 following a planned manual reactor scram ([that occurred at] 1540 on 11/06/00)."
"Prior to the scram, reactor water level had been increased to approximately 45 inches in anticipation of reactor water level decreasing following the scram."
"The planned reactor scram was part of a forced outage."
"All valves functioned as required."
The licensee stated that reactor water level momentarily decreased to the Group II PCIV isolation setpoint following the reactor scram. The licensee also stated that all systems functioned as required and that there was nothing unusual or misunderstood.
All rods fully inserted following the reactor scram. The Group II isolation has been reset, and the PCIV valves have been returned to their original positions.
The NRC resident inspector was in the control room at the time of the event.
