EN Revision Text: AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM AUTO-STARTED ON FEEDWATER ISOLATION SIGNAL

"At 0300 EDT, with Unit 3 in Mode 3 at 0 percent power, an actuation of the Auxiliary Feedwater System occurred when steam generator water level rose to 80 percent causing a Feedwater Isolation signal, which tripped the last remaining Steam Generator Feed Pump during plant cooldown. The Auxiliary Feedwater System automatically started as designed when the feedwater isolation signal was received.

"This event is being reported pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A).

"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."

The cause of the high steam generator level is under investigation.
