CALVERT CLIFFS LOSS OF LOAD TURBINE/REACTOR TRIP FROM 100 PERCENT POWER

"On 05/31/2016 at 1626 [EDT], a Reactor Trip occurred on Loss of Load RPS [Reactor Protection System] actuation. The Turbine Trip was apparently caused by a failed ESFAS [Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System] logic module. The failed NSR [Non Safety Related] logic module was associated with 11 Steam Generator High Level Turbine Trip. All systems responded as designed. Normal decay heat removal is to the condenser. All offsite power sources remained in service."

The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.
