EN Revision Text: REACTOR TRIP
The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
"At 0446 EDT on 5/30/2023, with Millstone Power Station Unit 3 operating at approximately 100 percent reactor power, an automatic reactor trip occurred due to a turbine trip caused by electrical protection. The reactor trip was uncomplicated and decay heat is being removed via steam dumps to the condenser. All systems responded as expected to the trip.
"Auxiliary feedwater actuated automatically as expected following the trip due to low-low levels in the steam generators.
"There was no risk to the public. There was no impact to Millstone Unit 2.
"This event is being reported as a four hour report under 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) as a condition that resulted in actuation of the reactor protection system while the reactor was critical, and as an eight hour report under 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) and 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(B) for actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
