EN Revision Text: SPECIFIED SYSTEM ACTUATION

"At 1525 CDT, 10/3/2021, with Unit 2 in Mode 5 at 0 percent power for a refueling outage, the 22 Turbine-Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) pump received an actuation signal during preparations for an Integrated Safety Injection test. The reason for the actuation signal is under investigation. The AFW steam admission valve opened and then, due to plant conditions, received a trip signal due to low discharge pressure. The steam supplies to the TD AFW pump were isolated.

"This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that results in a valid actuation of the AFW system. Unit 1 was not affected by this issue.

"There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
